Album Description

Charles K. Noyes' "Crimes in High Places, Pt. 1" is a bold and innovative exploration of the guitar's potential in the 21st century. Released on September 25, 2020, via Zoar Records, this avant-garde and free jazz album is a testament to Noyes' unique vision and technical prowess. Spanning nine tracks and over an hour of music, this album is not for the faint-hearted. Noyes employs electric and resonator guitars, as well as the amplified guqin, to push the boundaries of what these instruments can do. Inspired by the innovations of Derek Bailey, Noyes forges his own path with a personal guitar language that is as challenging as it is rewarding. From the aggressive "Unsportsmanlike Conduct" to the introspective "Tear-Stained Sleeve," each track offers a unique perspective on the guitar's expressive capabilities. Whether you're a seasoned jazz enthusiast or a curious newcomer, "Crimes in High Places, Pt. 1" promises an engaging and thought-provoking listening experience.
