Personally I'm always banjaxed by phrases likes ‘he's a guitarist's guitarist’. But perhaps it applies to Haque, who has a chameleonlike facility to summon the spirit of other guitarists: we travel through lush Jim Hall tones on ‘I Got It Bad And That Ain't Good’, skid through ‘Waiting Red’ which is suffused with Pat Martino's knotty modalities, then casually lean into the Grant Green cool of ‘Flood In Franklin Park’. Maybe Haque's role as a Professor of Jazz Guitar gives him a right to appropriate these voices, but there is something curious about this Zelig like life. Luckily, in Clearfield, Haque has an accomplice who keeps him honest, especially on the free-ish (and tabla nourished) ‘Inner Urge’. Whatever the influences, Haque is at least refreshingly up front about them, Out Of Nowhere remains an enjoyable run out, not least for the presence of Mraz and Hart who lend an accomplished swing, notably to the closing confection ‘Lollipops and Roses’.
