Ra Quintet |
"Steve Morse, Allan Holdsworth, John McLaughlin, and Al DiMeola are all names that come to mind when listening to Boston's Ra Quintet. Lead by Brant Grieshaber, the Ra Quintet blend fusion fretboard frenetics with electrifying vibraphone, simmering bass lines, and progressive timekeeping to create a truly inventive sound." -Brian Owens (Metronome Magazine) Ra Quintet, signed to Bennett Alliance Records, is fundamentally an instrumental rock group that is constantly exploring the jazz and classical roots of its members. The compositions blend dense couterpoint, rich harmonies, and striking melodies with firey improvisation and a solid progressive rock groove. The instrumentation by itself is enough to raise eyebrows - two guitars, vibraphone, upright bass, and drums.
