Ed Littman is an original musician. The compositions, and ideas expressed here highlight that. One of the hardest things for an artist to do these days, especially on guitar is to have an easily defineable sound and identity.
And Ed accomplishes that with this album
I've seen the group several times, and there is a coherent artistic fresh sound happening.
Interesting for the listener and fellow player.

Are you up for the challenge?
Are you ready to expand your musical mind for an hour or so?
If the answers are YES, then pick up this SPLATT disc and get ready to dig into some seriously cool music.
The compositions on this album are wonderfully non-traditional & the performances are made of high-test virtuosity.
Ed Littman is an avant-garde jazz monster with raw rock sensibilities. This reviewer anxiously awaits the January 2002 debut release of Littman's side project, the modern masters of Monk- BRILLIANT CORONERS. Littman masterfully twists his quirky Splattasmic melodies around in his mind, and spits them back out at the listener in an amazing aural assault of musical genre-bending euphoria. Zanker and Bollinger are more than side-men, as they create sonic landscape backdrops that are as musically gratifying as Littman's soaring solos. Zanker is lyrical, unpredictable, and funky on the bass. Bollinger is not a drummer- he is an amazing, well-rounded musician who happens to express himself on the drums. Ed Littman's Splatt teeters on the edge of creative insanity, but makes sure not fall over the fence onto the side of over-indulgence. This is not easy listening, CD 101.9 fuzak (stuff). This is REAL: improvisation-based, mind expansive esoterica, played from the inner depths of the creative mind and soul. SPLATT is ALL that. Do your musical id a favor, and indulge!
