and make some room to breathe
GET READY TO ROLL
sat down with guitarist Travis
to learn more about
this crazy threesome (this 'barrage a trois'!)

The following is an excerpt from Jennifer Young's latest journal entry 8/09.  To read more click on the link below:
http://www.travislarsonband.com/jy/jy_articles.html


Les Paul died yesterday. I remember hearing Travis saying something about it late last night as I was dozing and I thought he must have been mistaken.

In the clarity of a new day, I now know it’s true. Still, I can barely wrap my mind around it. I don’t know how I feel or what to say; it seems impossible, as though he was a super-hero who could never die, at least not in any earthly kind of way.

I never saw any news headlines, tv or online coverage and I suppose that’s because there was no controversy or drama, just the passing of music’s greatest pioneer and inventor, the Architect of Rock and Roll.

When I doubt the saying that “one man can make a difference”, I will remember Les Paul as the ONE man who really did make that difference.

"Rate Of Change LIVE"

Based in the idyllic California Coast city of San Luis Obispo, Travis Larson's instrumental-rock power trio has been stirring up a signature brew of Steve Morse influenced riffs and grooves for ten years now, and to celebrate they've created this abundantly stuffed double-live-CD-plus-bonus-DVD package from a show in late 2008. Bassist Jennifer Young handles the tricky unison runs, chordal tapping, and kinetic form changes like the advanced pro she is, and her solo breaks on "Heads or Tales" and "Times Like These" stand out for their restraint and melodic maturity. But make no mistake: This group is about bringing the unapologetic heat and light of a power trio with no singer, and Young (who co-produced the effort) employs the appropriately ass-kicking approach, taking up her fair share of the sonic space on heavy riff-driven tunes like "Dirty Magic" and "Edges", and plenty more when required.

"Rate Of Change LIVE"

Now, I can finally say I've had the great pleasure of seeing this amazing fusion trio live!  Watching guitarist Travis Larson and Bassist Jennifer Young working together (with drummer Dale Moon pacing both on drums) is a sheer delight.  These kids absolutely cook together, and not just in the kitchen.

The occasion for this classy video document, recorded last Sept. 18 in Arroyo Grande, Calif., was the bands 10th anniversary.  The three have a big stage to fill but that makes for comfortable viewing angles, which shift from wide-angles to close-ups and tastful fade-overs.

As a stylist, Travis's bright, sinewy, melodic phrasing technique brings to mind Steve Morse.  Technically stunning, always tasty.  Young stays solidly "in the pocket"; the perfect foil, who also can dazzle when called upon (her tapping rocks).

This concert comprises 20 tracks, each a highlight: If closer "Thin Air" and encore "Nevele" don't get your heart beating double time, you probably ain't breathin'.

Disc two comprises documentary material including band member interviews, archival footage, photo gallery, and a guided tour of Larson's guitar rig.

Note: The band also has released the concert soundtrack as two CDs in a double gatefold digi-pack.
