If there’s a single characteristic that could describe the diverse paths that Phil Haynes' artistry has traversed, it’s a sense of forward movement. Interestingly, in his latest release, Return to Electric, Haynes reconnects with one of his earliest musical passions, the electric guitar, delving into fusion classics and exhilarating originals with longtime collaborators guitarist Steve Salerno and bassist Drew Gress (the late/great Paul Smoker Notet rhythm section). Return To Electric fulfills Haynes’ long-held dream of releasing a fusion album. “I had always been attracted to early, edgy fusion, when it still had the concepts of experimentation, evolution and revolution, beginning with Miles, Tony, Mahavishnu, and the rest. After hearing their music for decades, it's easier to have something to say than at the time first inspired by them. Hopefully, this trio shines a fresh light on these classics, framed by my own tunes, illuminating how we’ve been enriched by - and cultivated - the music ever since. We hope the masters might even get a kick out this set.”
