 | | Description: | Factory Girl by Corey Christiansen, released 14 July 2016, includes the following tracks: "Shenandoah", "That I Should Know Your Face", "Old Joe Clark", "Beour" and more.
This version of Factory Girl comes as a 1xCD. - After many years of crafting the music he loves in various genres, guitarist Corey Christiansen has found a home with the unique combination of jazz and traditional American music he's explored in his last several recordings. On Factory Girl, Corey has singled out the feminine side of American frontier music and remodeled simple tunes into rhythmic and harmonically subtle contemporary arrangements. As guitar great Andy Summers states in his liner notes: "Corey is at the frontier of American jazz guitar. In addition to a gorgeous jazz tone, he also employs edgy blues tones and biting slide guitar that would make Duane Allman sit up. Even on these antique pieces, Corey plays inside and outside of the harmonic structures with a natural and gifted ease. Maybe he has created a new genre here. Avant Folk, maybe? Whatever it is, this is a great album with stellar playing all round and a great pleasure for guitar fans.""... Christiansen lights a rhythmic fire that never flickers, punctuating chords with precision and soloing with zeal... " - DOWNBEAT"Factory Girl" on CD presents Corey Christiansen as a deeply expressive jazz guitarist who unites modern harmonic language with a warm, organic sound. The album revolves around finely crafted compositions and arrangements that balance lyrical melodies, subtle grooves and spacious improvisations. Christiansen's playing is characterized by a singing tone, clear melodic arcs and an elegant sense of timing, allowing each solo to develop with patience and clarity rather than mere virtuosity. The recording offers a coherent listening experience that moves between atmospheric moments, flowing swing passages and contemporary jazz textures, without ever losing accessibility. The production highlights the natural sound of the guitar and the interplay with the ensemble, creating an intimate yet nuanced sonic image that rewards attentive listening.
As a bandleader and composer, Corey Christiansen has made a name for himself in the contemporary jazz scene through his tasteful blend of tradition and modernity. Known for his work as a performer and educator, he focuses on melodically strong themes, refined reharmonizations and a rhythmically flexible phrasing that appeals to both guitar aficionados and general jazz listeners. His previous releases and collaborations have earned him recognition for solid craftsmanship and musical maturity rather than superficial showmanship, and "Factory Girl" continues this path by emphasizing musical depth, interaction and narrative flow in the music.
