Musical Style: Modern Jazz

Guitarist, composer, and educator Dave Devine is known throughout the Denver jazz and rock scene for his virtuosity and versatility as a performer. With a background in classical guitar performance and a deep abiding love for guitar pedals, his sound is one of dense melodic layers, ambient washes, and lush sonic landscapes.

Hive Mind is the debut recording of a trio featuring Dave Devine on 6, 12, & baritone guitars & electronics, Greg Garrison on acoustic bass, and Scott Amendola on drums, cymbals & electronics. Tracked in an afternoon at Mighty Fine Productions in Denver (engineered by Colin Bricker), these six original compositions by Devine and two group improvisations were recorded live with no overdubs, editing or post-production. All effects, loops and processing were performed in the moment by Amendola and Devine.

“If, like me, you enjoy forward-leaning guitar music with variety, great tones, catchy/hypnotic themes, plus cogent use of sonic enhancements that can be both approachable and exploratory, then you owe it to yourself to check out “Hive Mind”, an artful trio recording by Denver’s delightful Dave Devine. From songs that actually sound like songs (“Hive Mind”, “Headfire”) to absorbing minimalist soundscapes (“Disdained”), Dave Devine’s patient playing is propelled by trio members Scott Amendola (drums, electronics) and Greg Garrison (acoustic bass). Dig in!”
