Royce Campbell • 6 x 6

 

Review by Michael P. Gladstone (All About Jazz):
These sessions appeared on Campbell's own Paddlewheel Records, which was a subsidiary of the Japanese King label. They were released in the United States on Evidence. At that time, Royce Campbell was approached regarding a new project that would team the guitarist with five leading jazz plectrists of his choice. The resulting album, 6 X 6, featuring Campbell in performance with John Abercrombie, Larry Coryell, Pat Martino, Bucky Pizzarelli and Dave Stryker, was released in 1994 in Japan and later in Europe to critical praise. One decade later, the album is finally being made available in the US, retitled Six By Six. Each of the guest guitarists is given two tracks apiece with, essentially, their own bassist and drummer, and Royce Campbell is the second guitarist on each of the selections, providing rhythm and the opportunity to trade fours with the respective players.

Reseña de Michael P. Gladstone (All About Jazz) - Traducción:
Estas sesiones aparecieron en el sello propio de Campbell, Paddlewheel Records, que era una subsidiaria del sello japonés King. Fueron lanzadas en los Estados Unidos por Evidence. En ese momento, Royce Campbell fue contactado con respecto a un nuevo proyecto que uniría al guitarrista con cinco destacados plectristas de jazz de su elección. El álbum resultante, 6 X 6, con Campbell en actuación con John Abercrombie, Larry Coryell, Pat Martino, Bucky Pizzarelli y Dave Stryker, fue lanzado en 1994 en Japón y posteriormente en Europa con elogios de la crítica. Una década después, el álbum finalmente está siendo puesto a disposición en los EE. UU., retitulado Six By Six. A cada uno de los guitarristas invitados se le dan dos pistas cada uno con, esencialmente, su propio bajista y baterista, y Royce Campbell es el segundo guitarrista en cada una de las selecciones, proporcionando ritmo y la oportunidad de intercambiar cuartos con los respectivos músicos.
