New Jersey Stage 2015 - Issue 6 | Page 33

18 fluid and forceful instrumentals. The music is often hard rocking with elements of classical, jazz, prog and world woven into wellconstructed compositions. Disc one opens with “Miles Beyond” an energetic exploration that honors Miles Davis. The soaring “Cuban Fly Zone” flows into the Spanish flavored “El Matador” countered by “Eternal Love” a pretty piano piece by collaborator Igor Len. Disc two also has plenty of power including the unworldly and Vai-ish “NS Vortex” along with a tender acoustic tribute to “Mom.” There is no escaping getting sucked into Neal Schon’s Vortex an innovative and intense instrumental album. Trixter are one of the Garden State’s favorite sons and the purveyors of high powered Goldselling glam metal. They return in 2015 with their fourth full-length album that finds them older, wiser and still rockin’ just as hard as ever.
