Об исполнителе:
Band formed in 1989 by bassist Hansfford Rowe and guitarist Jon Catler, a graduate of Berklee School of Music and the leading innovator in microtonal music for the guitar. In this project, both Rowe and Jon use customized guitars equipped with interchangeable fingerboards, allowing them to switch tuning systems in seconds. This process is called 'Just Intonation', based on the natural harmonic series of undertones and overtones up to a 13-limit. Steel Blue started out with a line-up of Jon, Hansford, with Benoît Moerlen (customised vibes) and François Causse (drums), but the eponymous album recorded in 1991 (and released on LoLo Records in 1993) featured Catler and Rowe with Jose Joaquin Garcia (vocals) and Lionel Cordew (drums), playing straight rock music.
