Planet MicroJam is guitar maestro and master composer David Fiuczynski‘s most complete statement in creating a true music to unite eastern and western music traditions, by associating Eastern (and African) microtonal scales to western groove.
The result is a music tapestry quite unheard of before yet profoundly emotional and dance-inducing.
For Planet MicroJam Fiuczynski has called upon the talents of a plethora of incredible musicians, as it features the talents of Jack DeJohnette, Kenwood Dennard, Jovol Bell and Erik Kerr on drums, Evgeny Lebedev and Takeru Yamazaki on microtonal keyboards, David Ginyard on bass and David Radley on violin.
