Another Side is an exciting new project from ex Pat Metheny drummer and percussionist Paul Wertico. Paul is joined on his latest CD by guitarist John Moulder and bassist Brian Peters who are full time members of the trio. Paul wanted to illustrate another side to his trio’s sound and previous recordings which were multi-tracked, and mixed over a period of several months. The simplicity of Naim’s True Stereo approach to recording appealed to him as the perfect way to convey the energy of his band’s sound. What also comes across quite blatantly is the band’s astonishing ability to communicate musically and sensitively with each other. Another Side is a fascinating collection of tunes and textures; a collection of spontaneous compositions which fit seamlessly together. The music is unified by a mood of tranquility where the solos and ensemble playing are woven together to create a serene sonic landscape. John Moulder is a fiery yet lyrical guitarist. His playing is uplifting, highly imaginative and deeply emotional and on top of this he is also an incredible composer, having recorded three solo discs and played on countless others At only 21, bassist Brian Peters is an amazing musician. His playing is solid, melodic and uncluttered. He is also a guitarist and violinist, and plays the Theremin, shehnai and duduk. On this album he even played the church organ.
