CHIRCO

Chirco was actually originally a studio project led by percussionist Tony Chirco and producer Michael Cuscuna 

rather than a proper band, but eventually the New York band Sassafras came aboard, and proved to be the 

project's saving grace. The musicianship in evidence on Visitation is uniformly ambitious and complex, 

with bassist Bruce Taylor and drummer S.H. Foote particularly impressive. They construct a swinging 

rhythmic underpinning that propels the music upward and forward, a match for the subtle spirituality 

of the lyrics. The album contains some of the hallmarks of progressive rock, especially the highly 

structured, conceptual songs that wear their pretensions on their sleeves, but although the usual 

rock instrumentation (drums, bass, guitar, keyboards) is present, Cuscuna also had the vision to variously 

incorporate horns and percussion, and the ubiquitous presence of electronic vibes helps Chirco 

create something that transcends progressive rock. The band's playing often approaches the texture 

and intricacy of jazz, with passages ranging from breezy to boldly powerful to grooving, and the album

is equally demanding in that it does not contain proper songs; instead, it consists of two side-long 

suites with each part rolling directly into the next without lulls or gaps. And although some 

of the music overreaches or descends into hackneyed hard rock cliche, had Chirco stopped here, 

the album would have been a find...(AllMusic)
