g.org

...is, hmmm, mythical? Yeah, sure, if you considered producer-oriented, studio-only concepts like the Alan Parsons Project mythical.

g.org (pronounced "gee - dot - org") is the brainchild of one Gary Guthrie and the concepts are usually jazz-based and utilize a revolving set of musicians who fail forward fast, fleshing out his ideas.

To date, there are two g.org recordings -- "re: generation", a jazzy cover set of slightly off-center classic rock tunes like Black Sabbath's "Planet Caravan" and Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well"; and "A New Kind of Blue" which is a modernization of the Miles Davis classic. The "re: generation" set was produced over a five-year period after Gar' "graduated" from being a radio consultant sold off his Clear Channel stock and was able to coax the musicians to indulge him some time for his ideas. Alternatively, "Blue" was done in five hours. You can't buy "re: generation" yet but you're more than welcome to hear it. "A New Kind of Blue" will out in a signed/numbered ltd. edition in early June.
