Last Day in Paradise - Alex Skolnick Trio

Last Day in Paradise

A few years ago I bought the first Alex Skolnick trio album ‘Goodbye to Romance’ not knowing what to expect. I was suitably impressed by the Jazz take on metal songs from Kiss, Sabbath, Aerosmith and Scorpions. They were good imaginative and well composed arrangements and of course featured the very excellent and tasteful guitar noodling of mr Skolnick. The next album, ‘Transformation’ featured a few originals alongside some Judas Priest, Dio and Deep Purple classics.
