"John Czajkowski tours the American landscape by orchestrating a tour of the music that grows there. He’s a monster guitarist with a metal carapace and a creamy jazz center, sprouting hydra heads of classical picking, insinuating slide, and even a particularly funky banjo." - Scott Johnson
 West ZooOpolis with Marco Minnemann is an ambitious new project with the über-talented German drummer, known for his breathtaking “interdependent ostinati” and heavy polyrhythmic grooves. Several composers have each been tasked to write and record music around an extraordinary 52-minute drum solo called Normalizer 2. Composers Trey Gunn, Mike Keneally, Phi Yaan-Zek, Mario Brinkman, Marco and John will each contribute their own unique compositional approach. John's production team includes Kevin Freeby on bass and some special guests including Chris "Sub-D" Taylor. Look for an initial compilation CD release coming soon on Abstract Logix record label followed by a monthly release of the individual guitarist-composers' albums!  Hectic Watermelon is John's “Post-Zappa, Commando Fusion” band, with a new CD featuring electric violinist extraordinaire, Jerry Goodman. You can check out live video, sound clips, scores and pro reviews of The Great American Road Trip at the official band website and Abstract Logix Contact John: j o h n @ h e c t i c w a t e r m e l o n DOT c o m
