JILL YAN - G.N.A.

• Jill Yan: G.N.A.
      (2021, download / streaming, --, digital music platforms)

Guitarist Jill Yan’s career spans over two decades of independent releases, highlighted by Zappa-esque technical complexity and dense rhythmic structures. His 2021 instrumental progressive fusion 5-track mini album "G.N.A." features the virtuosic drumming of Marco Minnemann and muscular bass foundations by Ivan De Luca. The five-track release navigates complex, odd-meter arrangements and high-speed unison lines that blend modern prog rock with jazz fusion.
