Trey also praised Bob's mastery of the Tabla, saying that "Bob fully understands the Indian classical vocabulary." While maintaining that Bob is a rock drummer at heart, Trey mentioned that he changes style as necessary, depending on the instrument being played, whether it be the Tabla or the Bandir.
Trey said he was interested in "collating [his tapping technique] in some kind of format, but not necessarily in a book." He said it would probably be in a school, since he believes you need to be around other musicians to develop your music skills.

 Trey Gunn, California Guitar Trio, SHR mixes — Pop Stops for 09/21/00 by John Everson
Trey Gunn, a relatively recent addition to the Crimson fold, was recently in town with The Trey Gunn Band, a guitar and drum trio supporting The Joy of Molyboenum, their new disc on King Crimson's Discipline Global Mobile label.
Gunn proves a well-taught pupil of Crimson guitar maestro Robert Fripp; parts of this disc sound more like King Crimson than the past couple of Crimson records have.
Gunn is an expressive, innovative player who spins an intricate web of angular string work, all the while tapping in a melodic texture that weaves it all together into a canny soundscape.

 !!TREY GUNN INTERVIEW WITH E.E.R. and Michael Askounes!!
I will be organizing another Trey Gunn Band tour for the Winter of 2001, and we will continue to tour as KC as well as begin working on new material.
Appearing on September 16, 2000 were the Trey Gunn Band, touring in support of their recent “Joy the Molybdenum” CD (say that five times fast!).
Trey referred to the vibe as a “sit down rock and roll kinda atmosphere” and I don’t think I could’ve said it better myself — the atmosphere was almost beatnik in character, I half expected people to begin snapping rather than clapping in between songs.

Trey: That was kind of fun because Adrian was actually laying down the vocals for the second version of "One Time" as we were reading reviews of "One Time".
Trey: It has the same tuning and string configuration that I have on my Grand Stick so the range is the same.

Gunn also remembered a somewhat prophetic encounter with now-deceased U of O Professor Ed Kammerer, who used to teach jazz piano and jazz study at the Music School.
Gunn said Kammerer once heard a tape of Gunn and a friend performing together, then left him with an odd compliment.
But untrue to Kammerer's prophetic words, Gunn isn't exactly a household name or a rock star cavorting with the likes of The Spice Girls, but he is slowly growing to become one of the more respected musicians in the fairly cloistered flock of avant-gardists like Fripp.

 Music: Turn Up That Noise (Memphis Flyer . 06-26-00)
Texan Trey Gunn is best known for his role in the most recent configurations of Robert Fripp's King Crimson, currently performing with that band as bass player-plus, or "touch guitarist."
So too is Gunn and company's successful move away from Fripp's strong gravitational pull into a trajectory of their own, propelled by considerable creative energy and vision.
Gunn's band (most of the songwriting on The Joy Of Molybdenum is credited to all three members) manage to forge a signature sound despite their tendency to incorporate disparate musical elements.

If youve never heard a Warr guitar, Trey Gunns music, or King Crimson with Trey Gunn, then this album might indeed come as a complete musical revelation, but it is not truly quite as otherworldly as other reviews might lead you to believe.
It is here that you hear the trademark Gunn sound, a very growly but clear raspiness that is a joy in itself to listen to.
Gunn then enters on a run to put some spicy noodling over the top of all of this.

Trey Gunn is still best known as a member of the most recent incarnation of King Crimson, playing his Warr Touch guitar, a variation on the Chapman Stick.
Gunn's work with Crimson carries over into his own ensemble, except instead of holding down the bass player's role, he stretches out into some scintillating lead work that owes a debt to his mentor, Robert Fripp, especially the long, undulating sustained melodies.
Gunn and Co have released a live document of their recent tour and the band features Gunn on 10 string, Mendelsone on 8 string Warr guitar, as well as Tony Geballe on electric and 12 string acoustic guitar, and drums.

 CD reviews: "Personae" and "Live Encounter"
So when Trey Gunn records with his own band, there is undoubtedly a bit of pent-up artistry ready to explode.
Gunn's solo work isn't so different from what King Crimson (or the Hellborg/Lane/Sipe trio) puts out: instrumental improvisation with lots of long, extrapolative passages that stretch both innate virtuosity and one's ability to compose on the fly.
Which means that the Trey Gunn Band is lousy background listening — try reading or futzing around the house with this on, and within a few minutes you'll be hitting your CD player's back button to hear something that just reached out from the "background" and grabbed your ear.

Trey Gunn's third solo release is equal parts free jazz, art rock, and New Age, a riveting compendium of outtakes spanning a decade in the life of an active and versatile musician.
Gunn, one-sixth of the rock ensemble King Crimson, inhabits a peculiar region between the electric guitar and the electric bass, tapping rich musical reserves in styles and octaves most people never think about.
Trey's sound is a richly textured hybrid of world beats, exotic textures and jazz sensibility with some Eno-like atmospherics throughout.

Gunn and Masteletto are both session musicians who eventually broke out on their own, with participation in King Crimson as a catalyst.
Gunn is a multi-instrumentalist who plays a different kind of axe — the Warr guitar — a touch guitar played with only one finger as opposed to the traditional two to fret and pluck.

Trey Gunn played in enough rock bands in his formative '80s years to learn how to become a star in popular music -- and then did a 180 into the jazz/fusion thicket.
Gunn graduated from keyboards to guitar, then bass to Chapman stick before discovering the customized Warr guitar (which he calls a "touch guitar" because of its tapping response).
High artistic marks and Gunn's side job with Crimson allow the Trey Gunn band enough currency -- against all popular music odds -- for the occasional studio recording session and these live encounters.

 Kimmo Pohjonen - The Official Website
Percussionist Pat Mastelotto and guitarist Trey Gunn have enjoyed successful careers with the band King Crimson, one of the worlds most dynamic, skillful and innovative bands.
Their new duo known as TU explores and highlights the well-known Gunn and Mastelotto edge, energy, humour, imagination, phenomenal playing skills and dynamism in an improvisational setting.
Kimmo's work was, once again, intense and unsurpassable, using the music produced by his accordion as a hurling weapon to not underestimate, in which he was accompanied by the also intricate onslaughts of Trey Gunn on his guitar/bass, by Kosminen's maniac manipulation of the sampler, and by Mastelotto's martial beat."

 King Crimson, Trey Gunn and Jane Siberry — Pop Stops for 1/24/02 by John Everson
The Trey Gunn Band is one of many Crimson spin-offs.
As Gunn has set the guitar tone for Crimson with his unique eight-string touch guitar over the past decade, so his solo outings, which spotlight his instrumental guitar prowess, resonate with a jammy, rhythmic Crimson feel.
Gunn takes a slightly more melodic approach to his material than Crimson's often abusively avant rock attacks, which makes his live disc a slightly more enjoyable listen.

Its also a real treat to hear Trey Gunn actually sing on one of his albums as most of his other solo material is either completely instrumental or features other vocalists.

With this effort, Gunn utilizes his electronic "tapping" instruments to lay down complex ostinato-type motifs while multi-tracking bass parts and churning out electrified solos.
