TIME IS THE ENEMY

Jonas Hellborg Bass Guitar
Shawn Lane Electric Guitar
Apt. Q-258 Drums

Bassist Jonas Hellborg's restless muse has taken him many different places in his career: from a stint with the legendary Mahavishnu Orchestra to funky collaborations with keyboardist Bernie Worrell and bassist Bootsy Collins to a heightened interest in non-Western forms of music - especially those of Pakistan and West Africa. Lately though, Hellborg has found perhaps his most like-minded (not to mention musically astounding) set of collaborators: guitar phenom Shawn Lane and drummer Apt. Q-258 (a.k.a. Jeff Sipe), a lineup that debuted on 1996's Temporal Analogues of Paradise (Day Eight Music). With two live cuts clocking in at more than 25 minutes each, Temporal Analogues of Paradise not only highlighted the trio's incredible chops and telepathic interplay, but breathed life into a format long thought dead and gone - jazz-rock fusion.
