![]() | Si Hayden Ben Haines Adam Holt - 'H-Division' (2012) (LP) Silvery SRCD054 Silvery Records present Si Hayden's 24th album 'H-Division' 10 original rock instrumentals with Ben Haines on drums and Adam Holt on Bass. This is something quite different from the Joe O'Donnell guitarist of Flamenco and Celtic roots. No bombast despite the H-Factor, a killer instrumental threesome exploring the most ethereal corners of rock idiom. Never the one to slow down his pace - which doesn't make the man a shredder, - Hayden closely follows 2011's "Supercharger", which found the British axeman on his own, with this album set up for a trio format. Surely, the criterion for inviting bassist Adam Holt and drummer Ben Haines to the party wasn't their surnames' first letter, as there's a telepathic sympathy in the ten tracks that - save, perhaps, for the sharply focused rage of enchanting "Altitude" (shouldn't it be "Attitude"?) - can be only loosely described as "rock" only because a shadow of fusion hangs over the proceedings and peaks familiarly in "Light-Com". Once the heavy riff of opener "Escape" gives way to notes that flutter rather than flurry over the brooding groove, a sunny vista is invoked into which "Vorcenellaraptorai" shoots a flamenco-tinctured twang. In "Azimodal Equinox", though, such a spank lies in a bass domain as the guitar steps behind the rhythm to color the gritty jive, but "Aperphelion" offers the listener a blissful electric flight across the acoustically rippling sky. Higher and higher, when it comes to "Zodiacal Apparition" the sensual soaring is somewhat undercut by the piece's motorik engine: kosmische musik it ain't, and here's the momentum gets lost, until "One Way" invites Hayden's harmonic riffola back. Powerful and imaginative work." **** (Dmitry M. Epstein - Let It Rock) 1. Escape 2. Vorcenellaraptorai 3. Charlie Brown 4. Altitude 5. Azimodal Equinox 6. Light-Com 7. Aperphelion 8.

![]() | Si Hayden 'Supercharger' (2011) (LP) Silvery SRCD052 "Resonator instrumentals from the fast lane Coventry acoustic virtuoso Si Hayden has experimented in a variety of unconventional musical contexts - from live drum 'n' bass and jazz to Celtic and Spanish classical - than this solo-guitar instrumental outing lets on. All the songs were recorded on a resonator and. impressively, it was all done in just a single take. His technique shows the fingerprints of other musical forms, but for the most part, it's a mixture of blues and folk staples - with alternate picking, slide and percussive slaps evident throuout. Hayden wrings the most out the resonator's steely attack, offering up a bevy of harmonics and rhythmic possibillities along the way. Its no small feat to walk the line between accessible melody and fleet-fingered flash as expertly as this" Standout track: Time Out For fans of: Tommy Emmanuel, Bert Jansch, Isaac Guillory" (Guitarist Magazine - http://www.musicradar.com/guitarist/guitarist-issue-352-on-sale-now-529060) "A six-string virtuoso gives a master class of one-take approach leaving no space for casual spontaneity and the whole world for emotions With all his versatility, Si Hayden could have been a national treasure in the U.K. if only he had the rage of Rory Gallagher or the flash of Richard Thompson, but he prefers to keep it down and serious be it on his own or as foil for violinist Joe O'Donnell, or as multi-instrumentalist in jazzers MORLEY HAYDEN HAINES. And here's an example: Si's many musical faces are reflected, and refracted, in a dozen of acoustic guitar pieces that are being played as straight as a lace goes, with no overdubs to paint an additional, needless vignette. Still, the cover car is an amalgamation of the title track which marries Delta blues to flamenco to demonstrate Hayden's filigree finger-work, while the devilish slide that rides through "A Slight Tale" makes its ominous entrance in the sparse opener "Dusk" to set the agenda. Yet it doesn't prepare the listener for such deliciously lazy groove as the one under "I Roll" or the shadow of Indian chant of "Walnut Bridge". Whatever wide the maestro stylistic palette is, there's a wholeness to the album, a sign of Si's immaculate taste matching his delivery and making the result sharply focused and sensually riveting. Calm but cool." **** (Dmitry M. Epstein - Let It Rock) Silvery Records present Si Hayden's 23rd album 'Supercharger' his 9th Solo guitar album since 1998.

| Interplay 'Introducing Interplay' (2010) (LP) Silvery SRCD033 1. Grey Day at Gorey 2. Faces & Places 3. Hang Around featuring Andra Sparks 4. Island 5. Ode to Duke featuring Andra Sparks 6. Boogie Stop Shuffle 7. Rising On Thermals 8. After You Stu (new) 9. Step Lightly 10. The Shuffle SilveryRecords introduce the delectable sound of Interplay, a jazz delight! Welcome to the first offering by INTERPLAY, the band founded in 2007 by bassist and composer Adrian Litvinoff. The sounds on this album reflect the band’s development on the road, shaped by experimenting, taking risks and putting the audience at the centre of everything it does. Adrian’s tunes are evocative and warm, connecting with emotions and experiences, memorable rather than abstract. Drawing from their immersion in many musical genres he and the band explore all sorts of textures and sounds not always associated with contemporary jazz, to delight the ear and create ‘the sound of surprise’. The guys in the band are all well known players in the region – and the album shows just why. Richard Baker is a fine trombonist. If he’s not a virtuoso yet he soon will be! His classically-honed technique is put to awesome and expressive use in ‘Faces and Places’ and ‘Grey Day at Gorey’. He tears it up big-time on ‘Boogie Stop Shuffle’, while his solo on ‘Ode to Duke’ perfectly mirrors the mood and delivery of the lyric by Andra Sparks. Alan Wakeman on soprano and tenor saxes brings something wild and free to the ensemble that is always grounded in musicality and emotional honesty. His solos on ‘Hang Around’ and ‘Island’ are both outstanding, as is his rendition of ‘Rising on Thermals’. Neil Hunter is a gifted and creative pianist, and energy just seems to flow through him. At times reflective and tender, at others driving and exuberant, he is a great accompanist as well as soloist. His poignant opening to ‘Hang Around’ perfectly sets the scene for what follows, while his inspired excursions on ‘Boogie Stop Shuffle’ and ‘After You Stu’ are other highlights. Adrian Litvinoff is a bassist whose playing style has been shaped by his instinct as a composer. Always searching for the melodic complement to the other players, his lines climb and fall in response to the music, even when holding down a groove. Enjoy his accompaniment on ‘Faces and Places’ and ‘Step Lightly’ as well as his solos on ‘Grey Day’ and ‘Island’. Dave Balen on drums and percussion brings a history of musical exploration and immersion in many genres including Indian music. His approach to music (and to life) makes him an unselfish accompanist as well as a highly creative soloist – hear his multi-layered contribution to ‘Grey Day’ or the extraordinary percussion accompanying the bass solo in ‘Island’. Andra Sparks joins us for two numbers on the album. Andra’s voice is bell-like, clear and suffused with warmth, and she really knows how to get inside a lyric! Her contributions to ‘Hang Around’ and ‘Ode to Duke’ add freshness and polish to these numbers and enrich the album as a whole.

The new waltz "Coventry's Asthill Grove is where the house in which these songs were recorded in lies. These 9 original tracks feature a wealth of local musical talent who all leant their skills and time for nothing but love and sandwiches over the second half of 2009. All the songs are original compositions by Wes Finch and feature traditional English folk and Americana instruments. The music has been described as warm and vibrant 'pop-folk' and UK-Americana'. Are they both oxymorons?..."br> Asthill Grove, recorded Spring & Summer 2009, engineered and mixed by Paul Hartry. 9 tracks featuring 'Air, Land & Sea, Jack to Do, Oh My Days! and The New Waltz... Coventry based songwriter Wes Finch has produced a small masterpiece with this record. It is fair to say that he has been helped in no small way by the 14 other musicians that have contributed their talents to it and especially the production skills of Paul Hartry. This record has warmth flowing through it. Finch has a voice that is hard to place. There is a twang to his vocals, kind of like The Kooks Luke Pritchard doing a Ryan Adams impersonation, but unmistakably English. The voice suits perfectly the folk/pop that is Finch's stock and trade. Opening with the short and teasing Wooden Hill, we get a glimpse of delights to come. Air, Land & Sea is one of the most beautiful songs that I have heard in many a year. It builds and falls with faultless grace and had me reaching for the repeat button more than once. Both Aint We The Lucky Ones? and Jack To Do arrive like long lost friends, open armed, smiling and comfortingly familiar. I say familiar as many of the tracks on here have the feeling that you have heard them before. It's not because they sound particularly like anyone else, but rather because they are instantly likable. This is an album that works from the first play. A special mention has to be given to The New Waltz where an anthemic version of Mickey Newbury's An American Trilogy is incorporated into the chorus. An unexpected surprise that works a treat. This is a well crafted album from an obviously talented artist who deserves to be heard. Move over Ryan Adams & co, there's a new kid in town.(The Music Critic ~ Sunday, 24 January 2010) Available on CD. price £8.99 includes free postage to anywhere in the world: pay with credit, debit card or paypal.

Snail 15: the new romanian poems* "It's really nice to hear new music with real musicians, I do a lot of programmed music, but there is something organic about poetry and well tuned musicians. And Si's work is just great, the double bass playing is spot on... it really sounds like the musicians overstood the poetry. Nice one." (Benjamin Zephaniah) "Poet laureate in waiting goes all the way to fusion and back - Ra." "They're a rare breed, great poets crossing over to music, and with only a couple of names springing to mind, Jonathan Morley, an Eric Gregory Award winner who researches T. S. Elliot's stamp over Carribean literature at the University of Warwick, stands closer to Gil Scott-Heron rather than Leonard Cohen. His lines chime with jive, so Morley teams up with guitarist and composer Si Hayden and drummer Ben Haines to deliver them in style. Cue this album, a companion piece to "Backra Man" the book (note the singular as opposed to the plural in the record's title), a jazzy experience which starts creepingly with Hayden's piano rippling over Haines' shadowy cymbals and Morley's gloomy voice reciting strange images. It resonates on many levels when the "Da Da dada dada" sets alliteration apace in "For Lee Miller", spanky bass brings funk into the "Loki's song" Gothic texture, and baroque country picking paints the "grass glares white" picture of "Spon". The music feels as strange as the poems but one fits the other perfectly. "Backra" means the evil white man, and this fusion of poetry and sparse melodies seems sinister indeed, yet it's not aggressive at all, save for the Rasta talk of "Sistah" that sounds melodius even without ragged accompaniment, whereas the "Duskfall" lace is pure elegance and "Iberian Baroque" gently takes a listener on an Indiana Jone-like adventure to the Indian pyramids. That's where the whiter shade of face re-appears. Haunting!" ****(Dmitry M. Epstein, Let it Rock) "?Backra Man? by Morley Hayden Haines has certainly came in from the left-field... no doubt there will be people who appreciate whats going on here..."(Andy Reilly - Is this music) ""..the freshest sound i've heard in years..."

Si does have some chops..."(©Kirk Albrecht, minor7th) "Hayden?s trademark supersonic picking is present.. the six-string virtuosity shown on this album is irrefutable.. an album that stuns with its technical brilliance, then later endears you to the soul and depth behind the flashiness"(Peter Clayton, cdreviews) "About a year and a half ago, I reviewed Si Hayden?s Nylon ? for Now. I was very impressed by his solo acoustic guitar virtuosity. I still am, and I like Steel Roots even more. Hayden is still firing off dizzying runs, punctuated by percussive slaps against his guitar. His chord work is full and propulsive. The 12 tracks here are concise, melodic, often rocking. Hayden delivers toe-tapping bluesy jazz (the original ?Flat Spot? and his smoking take on Van Morrison?s ?Moondance?), folk-country (the leap-out-of-the-speakers opener ?Ellya? and Johnny Cash?s ?Folsom Prison Blues?), Townshend-like power (?Hats Off to Pete Townshend? and ?Just a Bit of Fun?) and flights of frenetic fancy (the dizzying ?JD and Coffee? and the closing title cut). Hayden often deftly shifts genres several times within songs, and with only one track over four minutes long, Steel Roots delivers wallop after wallop of solo guitar goodness with no time for boredom to set in."(© Chip Withrow, musesmuse) "...You might find a methodology to Hayden's playing, but every composition is so tailored with its own voice that it negates everything you have ever learned about method playing. These are not finger moves that are taught in school. They are moves with such imagination and independent thinking that they make you feel honored to hear them. The music has a striking star quality that few artists can achieve. Hayden uses no special effects or overdubs. His playing is divinely pure... Hayden's music falls between the lines that separate jazz from country, and his compositions certainly show that the two have more common factors than most music fans ever knew. You'll never believe that all of these movements are coming out of one acoustic guitar. There is a dreamy quality in Si Hayden's melodies that keeps your head floating up above the clouds while the country aspects in his music keeps everything feeling open and homey... A native of Coventry, England, Hayden's sonic vistas seem to come natural as he plays to the beating pulse of life with total abandonment of conventional methodology. Speaking of unconventional, Si Hayden is left handed and plays right-handed guitars.(Susan Frances, jazzreview.com) |

The music may sound vintage but on his CD Hayden puts a new spin on a timeless art form. As he points out in his liner notes, all tracks were recorded with one guitar and no overdubs and all percussion is from the right hand on the guitar body while playing. A modern flamenco master, Hayden makes excellent use of his Ivor Maraints and Jose Ramirez guitars."(Robert Silverstein, 20th Century Guitar) "This album is refreshingly honest - UK-based composer/guitarist Hayden plays the entire program solo and with no overdubs... flawlessly executes the genre's characteristic strums, descending single-string runs and soundboard taps... Yet he typically makes things more interesting by weaving more complex harmonies and smooth jazz elements into each of the tunes. Si Hayden's appeal comes from successfully melding flamenco with more modern sounds, and doing so without gimmicks or artifice. Both guitarists and general listeners will enjoy this CD; turn it up and enjoy."(©Patrick Ragains, Minor7th) "...such an impressive guitar player and Nylon ... for Now is full of interesting music... dizzying flamenco-style runs... pretty, ringing arpeggios. He?s even better when he leans into some meaty rhythmic chording. Then there?s his unique percussion, which is him tapping on the guitar?s wood body. I wish he?d do it more often on this album, but these tracks were recorded in single takes, and providing all that rhythm on top of breakneck picking is, I?m sure, hard work. Fans of guitar virtuosity should check out Si Hayden... a few listens made me appreciate it on a heart-and-soul level as well as a technical one."(©Chip Withrow, musesmuse) |
