Self Titled

Brooklyn-based guitarist Ninni Morgia (Quivers, The Right Moves) are joined on this occasion by multi-instrumentalist Daniel Carter, one of the most active and talented musicians of New York’s free jazz community who has played with the likes of Sun Ra, Sunny Murray, Test, Matthew Shipp, Plastic Ono Band and Jeff Arnal. He creates a beautiful mix of psychedelic free jazz and Indian raga with a wide range of instruments like thumb piano, kalimba, bells, gongs, all centered around Morgia’s versatile guitar work, previously compared to great masters like Keiji Haino, Sonny Sharrock and Hendrix.

On the various tracks of this 2LP/Download, Morgia’s guitar goes from Miles-electric style funky-wah and the acid trips of Jerry Garcia, to the fury of Haino and Sharrock, and finally reaches the ecstatic visions of the great kosmische bands Popol Vuh and Ash Ra Tempel. The record has been mastered by audio wizard Scott Colburn (Sun City Girls, Magik Markers, Animal Collective).

Ninni Morgia: guitar, bass, el. autoharp, el. sitar, keyboard, percussion, kalimba
