Mike Cooper is one of those musicians in danger of falling through the gaps in musical histories. A multifaceted guitarist who patently recognises no need to respect limits or boundaries, he has made idiosyncratic inroads into folk, blues, jazz, Greek music, HipHop, Hawaiian music, free improvisation...As the list goes on, the categories lose meaning. But his music sets the record straight....and Hipshot, his limited edition c.d.-r. label allows him to steer his own course without concessions." ( Wire-2003) |
