about

Winner of Jazziz magazine’s Critic Choice in 2011, Big Wheel is Richman’s follow up consisting of 10 new tracks further expanding on what Richman has sought to achieve with every new effort. Recognized as a guitarist and composer not afraid of exploring into the unknown, Richman’s latest release is an in-depth conversation of storytelling through song. Each musician is given the opportunity to express their own account of the story and their unique voices ring through on all of the tracks.

Big Wheel opens with the funky groove, “Hell If I Know” that sets the tone and pace for the remaining nine tracks. “Happy Medium” has a great island vibe that seems to have always been hidden in Richman’s playing before but really stands out this time around. Stevie Wonder’s “That Girl” is one of two covers that appear on the release.

Alongside Richman, Lorber, Gadd, and Haslip; additional musicians appearing on the release include George Whitty, Alasn Pasqua and Dean Taba. Big Wheel is engineered by Lorber at JHL Sound, mixed by Paul Tavenner at Big City Records and mastered by Rich Breen at Dogmatic.

Mahandini (HD)
by Dewa Budjana feat. Jordan Rudess, Marco Minnemann, Mohini Dey, John Frusciante

supported by 4 fans who also own “Big Wheel”

This is the sixth Dewa Budjana album in my collection, and for $5 at a 50% promotion, it's a real steal! Well, I have to admit that I'm a big fan of his early albums, released when he wasn't a star yet, worked with local musicians, and included a fascinating far-east folk feeling in his compositions. The latter is almost completely missing on this most recent album of his, starring part of the who is who of fusion. It's well-done middle-of-the-road fusion most of the time, but alas, nothing exceptional. Even Mohini Dey's technically perfect bass wizardry is not really touching. The highlights are, in fact, both of the songs contributed by John Frusciante, "Crowded" and "Zone". Sven B. Schreiber

Hasta Karma (HD 96kHz/24bit)
by Dewa Budjana feat. Antonio Sanchez, Ben Williams, Joe Locke

supported by 4 fans who also own “Big Wheel”

Great guitar centered fusion (with a pleasant Eastern touch) from Indonesia. Dewa Budjana clearly doesn't dislike being compared to Pat Metheny as he's playing with the Metheny rhythm section here! Shiny HD-offering, as you might have guessed by the album title... Carsten Pieper

Zentuary (HD)
by Dewa Budjana feat. Tony Levin, Gary Husband, Jack DeJohnette

supported by 4 fans who also own “Big Wheel”

Just couldn't resist buying this double album for half the price - a generous offer by Dewa Budjana on the occasion of "Uncle Tony" Levin's 72th birthday. I already had "Home" in my collection, which is one of my all-time favorite fusion albums. So if you like fun-packed fusion with fancy compositions and a great deal of virtuosity, hurry up and purchase this album (and maybe more) today or tomorrow with the discount code you get as a follower of Dewa Budjana!
