 | | 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. |
