In addition to Howard on Stick and synthesizer, the Greg Howard Band also includes Jan Wolfkamp on drums, Hubert Heeringa on saxophones and violin, and Jan van Offen on fretless and fretted bass, with guest musician Louis Gerrits on EWI and saxophones.
Howard's bass lines on the Stick and van Offen's bass occasionally overlap, since they fill the same tonal space and frequency range in the sound, but the bouncy timbre of the Stick and the purr of the fretless bass help keep the instruments distinct.

 Greg Howard | Sol
Greg Howard is one of the most gifted impresarios of the instrument, occupying the space of both bassist and guitarist in his ensemble.
Howard's elegant technique brings out the instruments best sonic qualities in the context of his band, but to say that the relative novelty of the stick in a jazz context is the best justification to investigate Howard's music would be unjust.
Howard is backed by a number of supporting musicians, but the core band finds Howards 10-string stick a full compliment in the tasty percussion of Darrell Rose and Robert Jospe on drums.

Howard is quite able to create an impressive wall of sound, and stick aficionados are usually in for a treat during any of his lengthy improvisations.
It consists of 9 separate sections spanning a full hour of chops, featuring Howard's unmistakable approach to the instrument, though I am unfortunately unable to say for sure which parts of this performance are at least structurally similar to the music I have heard Howard perform in the past.
On that note, I should add that for me it is very hard to listen to this album (or any of Howard's solo performances) from beginning to end with unflagging interest.

 Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
Originally formed as a pick up band for a European one-nighter, the new Greg Howard band finds Howard, one of the reigning masters of the Chapman Stick, the ten stringed instrument invented by Emmett Chapman in 1969, fronting three Dutch musicians whose talents are singularly complimentary to his own.
In combination, the quartet offers music that glides deftly between new age, contemporary jazz and groove jams, without slipping into the less appealing traps that each of those genres offer.
Howard has garnered personal recognition and appreciation from Emmett Chapman, and he deserves it, because in his hands it's an effective and authentic tool for musical expression rather than the new age gimmick it can become in the hands of the less talented.
