David “Fuze” Fiuczynski is an iconoclastic innovator and a rebel with a guitar. Fluent in funk, rock, fusion, wicked fretless blues slides, Eastern melodicism, Western microtonalism, and everything in-between, his remarkably open-minded and versatile approach to his instrument and music, in general, has made him a “first call” player, and lead to tours and recording projects with a remarkably diverse cast of characters, including Stewart Copeland (The Police), Jack DeJohnette (Miles Davis, John Coltrane), John Zorn, Hiromi, JoJo Mayer, Dennis Chambers, Rudresh Mahanthappa, Marcus Miller, Billy Hart, John Medeski, Ronald Shannon Jackson’s Decoding Society, and countless others. He has played on nearly 100 recordings as a session musician, bandleader, or band member, won a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2011, and is a professor at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. Best known as the leader of the Screaming Headless Torsos, KiF, and as a member of Hasidic New Wave, Fuze launched Planet MicroJam, an institute that explores the use of microtones in groove, jazz, ethnic, folk, and other contexts, in 2012. With this impressive resume under his belt, the mad-scientist guitar hero is now seeking to bring his music to new audiences.
