Ari Joshua is a guitarist, composer, and educator from Seattle. His music is is more rock than electronic, but I liked it, so I’m sharing it. It’s my blog, I can do what I want!
Ari has performed with many musicians, including band members of REM, Screaming Trees, Pearl Jam and Santana, so yes, he’s good! Below you can check out one of his latest tracks, Contact, created alongside Robert Glasper, KJ Sawka, and Jason Fraticelli. Starting with some manic breaks and improvisations that initially reminded me of 70’s Frank Zappa, this slows down later on into a guitar riff that’s almost bluesy, with psychedelic undertones, with some great soloing towards the end. Give it a listen, you’ll like it, I’m sure…
