...according to our Phil on 15 January 2009.

Greg Malcolm has one of those first name last names... where both names are first names. I've always had a soft spot for folks with double first names. Here's his new CD on Interregnum called 'Leather and Lacy'. The album consists of live versions of jazz tunes by Steve Lacy played by Greg in his 3 guitars style. Yes he plays 3 guitars at once. Fucking octopus of a man if you ask me... he plays 2 with his feet and one in the regular way you'd play a guitar (not your teeth...). I'm not really a jazz man as such. As I was younger I was quite into it but as I've got older it fills me with fear and dread (like pirates still do). However this sounds quite unjazzy and more folky. It's an odd thing which is doing the biz on second listen for me. Lots of acoustic guitar played in a very free way which is extremely ungrating on the ear and it's actually kind of soothing. Lots of weird noises in the background to keep the disturbo's happy but over them is some gorgeous picking and plucking. Excellent!!

What their label says...

The experimental folk musician and underground icon, Greg Malcolm, will release his next album, called Leather and Lacy, on Interregnum Records. The album consists of live versions of the jazz tunes created by the legendary Steve Lacy. The tapes are from the Wellington Jazz Festival 2006, where Malcolm dresses Lacy’s melodies in a free folk influenced suite of noise. Malcolm is known for playing three guitars at the same time: two with each foot and one in the conventional way (with his hands and arms), and this is how he performs also this songs. The outcome has recently been edited and mastered by Kai Mikalsen.

Greg Malcolm has earlier received good critics world wide for his albums such as Hung (Celebrate Psi Phenomenon, 2006), Swimming in It ((K-RAA-K) 3, 2005) and Homesick for Nowhere (Corpus Hermeticum, 2002), as well as his live performances. He has also released albums with innovators such as Tetuzi Akiyama and Bruce Russel (The Dead C).
