This review is from: Point of View (Audio CD)

Susan Weinert never ceases to amaze me with her growth and versatility as an incredible jazz
guitarist and composer. This release has her growing into another new voice in her guitar stylings.
This time around I picked up on a certain smoother Gambale feel moreso than Hendersonic
crunch. Check out opening track, "Liebman" which calls to mind Gambale's Thunder Down
Under. Only on the groove-funk-scat, with distorto-axe, outro to "Day" do we hear the
obvious tribute to Tribal Tech. Sonic snippets of Terje Rypdal/Bill Frisell howlings apppear too.
She showcases an easy grasp of acoustic jazz guitar flair this go round on several pieces. I heard
Towner, Abercrombie, and a smidgen of Bill Connors acoustics.

Probably the most extraordinary thing happening on Point of View alongside
Weinert's above par guitar is the absolutely unreal but true vocal abilities of Michael Schiefel!
Wow! This guy has a dynamic range that is beyond androgynous. He wails so beautifully like a
lady then swoops out of soprano and deep into octaves of the baritone boys. I actually had to e-
mail Weinert to assure myself this was a man singing. Schiefel and Weinert do vox/string unison
runs that bring goosebumps. ~ John W. Patterson, EER-MUSIC.com
