…Last Day in Paradise, they explore a brand of instrumental rock via a jazz trio format. According to Alex’s website the band has reworked hard rock and metal classics in a jazz style. Now on this new one they do that plus create some original works. Joining guitarist Alex (Guitars, loop programming and vocals) are Nathan Peck (double bass and vocals) and Matt Zebroski (drums and vocals).
Out of the ten songs, there are three re-workings such as Rush's "Tom Sawyer", which is hardly recognizable. I can’t say I like or dislike All I can say is it’s quite original. Then they do Testament’s "Practice What You Preach", but with a Latin twist and calling the song "Practica Lo Que Practicas". The third is and last cover tune on the CD is Ozzy's "Revelation (Mother Earth)", which sees a more laid back approach to this classic song.
The rest of the album has various styles that blend very well. Nothing is out of place. The Alex Skolnick Trio is one of those few bands that likes to push the boundaries of instrumental jazz-rock, and Last Day in Paradise, is a solid testament to that! If you’re into instrumental music and enjoyed Alex’s previous guitar work you might be compelled to pick this album up.
