"Out: 17 Modern Guitarists Salute Derek Bailey" is a compilation of original guitar improvisations by several guitarists who wanted to show respects for Derek Bailey. Bailey was an idiosyncratic genius of a guitarist, mostly unknown but to those interested in avant garde music and experimental guitar. He died Christmas Day 2005. He championed free playing in jazz and beyond. Rather than try to prove a doctorate on the techniques used by Bailey, the participants agreed to record improvisationally and to let their own techniques and technology bring their own signature tip-of-the-hat, though some evoked his sound. Musicians include Bruce Stevens, Chris Shaffer, Christopher Allen, DLed, Dan Stearns, David Beardsley, Ed DeGenaro, Gary Corcoran, Ian Naismith, Jason Fink, Jim Hearn, Jonathan Buchanan, Michael Vick, Newbie Brad, Rigsby Smith, Steve Milberger, and Todd Madson. This project has been parented by Kronosonic.com and produced by 3 Pups Music. Sincere thanks to Unfretted.com and Myspace itself. Also to America, England, Russia, Germany and Norway (for these guitarists!)
