​Jon Stickley Trio (from the album Scripting the Flip available on Crossroads Label Group) (by Bryant Liggett)
It is a sound that can entice and seduce, thumping and fist pumping just as Scripting the Flip invites to sit down for a contemplative listen. It’s the formula that Jon Stickley Trio have been perfecting for eight years, four studio recordings and one E.P., and like the dude in your high school that could run with the jocks just as easily as he could hang with the stoners, Jon Stickley Trio have an appeal that adapts to your record collection. From the strict, acoustic-minded festival goers to the break beat bumpers and on into the fans of progressive Jazz Fusion with orchestrated arrangements and musical proficiency, On their latest, Scripting the Flip, The Jon Stickley Trio casually grace their way through styles, never once seeming out of place or out of bounds.
The ambient album opener, “(Intro) Walk with Me”, flows into to the experimental “Fighting Chance”, hinting at the stringed theatrics to come, followed by Jon Stickley playing a spaghetti western riff for the title track that eases underneath a flowing fiddle melody courtesy of Lindsay Pruett.  The Jon Stickley Trio long-time banjo playing pal Andy Thorn turns up on the new-grass, fusion-grass inspired “Driver” as “Checkered Past” quickly morphs from a classical piece to a bouncy ska cut that’s fast and fun.  “Animate Object” is playfully animated, “Harmon Den” buries the gas pedal on the first rev, and Lindsay Pruett turns Kenny Bakers’ “Bluegrass in the Backwoods” into a Gypsy Jazz number.  Stickley and Pruett may trade off on the leads but equal footing is also given to drummer Hunter Deacon, whose concrete rhythms keep the strings of The Jon Stickley Trio accelerating and solid.  (by Bryant Liggett)
