Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready also makes an appearance on two tracks. How did your paths cross?
“We first met in Seattle when Prince and 3rdeyegirl played The Showbox. They came down to check us out, we met backstage and kept in touch. In May 2016, Mike and the band invited me on stage in my hometown of Toronto for their encore, Rockin' In The Free World.
“We started talking about collaborating - he runs this boutique vinyl label called HockeyTalkter Records and they release seven-inch singles, so we thought it would be cool. I’m a huge fan of vinyl! I wrote the song Trashformer specifically for Mike… I wanted this giant build-up and leave a pocket for Mike to play into. What he played totally floored me; it knocks me out every time I hear it.”

Review: Ex-Prince guitarist Donna Grantis explores fusion
Pablo Gorondi / The Associated Press

Like with Miles Davis or David Bowie, having played with Prince is an entry in a musician's resume that's worth a thousand recommendations. Canadian guitarist Donna Grantis spent four years in various capacities with the late artist who once changed his name to an unpronounceable glyph. Among other credits, Grantis wrote the title tune for "PlectrumElectrum," Prince's 2014 album with the group 3rdEyeGirl, which she was also part of.
For this eight-track instrumental collection, she has teamed up with a trio of Minneapolis aces — drummer JT Bates, bassist Cody McKinney and keyboard player Bryan Nichols — as well as New York-based, Minneapolis-born tabla virtuoso Suphala.
"Mr Majestic" is a mellow opener, with Grantis varying her guitar's volume to hover over a lush base provided by electric piano and Suphala's delicately high-pitched percussion. It's followed by the title track — a wide-ranging composition darting across the spectrum of funky, jazz-rock fusion — which Grantis says was, as the rest of the album, greatly influenced by her experiences with The Purple One.
Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready adds fiery string work to "Violetta" and "Trashformer," two of the heaviest tracks on the record.
Grantis saves one of the best and most dynamic tunes for last. "Elsa" closes the album with plenty of all-around movement, lively interplay between Suphala and Bates, a fuzzy keyboard solo and some nasty guitar tones.
Recorded live-to-tape in just two days, a pace similar to that of many great jazz albums, "Diamonds & Dynamite" is an experimentally adventurous set, which contains ample evidence why Prince held Grantis in such high regard.

Finally gave the album a more focused listen last night, really enjoyed it, definitely going to be on regular rotation, along with Suites (though a much different beast, lol)!"The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."

Man, I wish I’d known about this when it came out in 2006, Donna Grantis on guitar. Just got it today and it rocks pretty hard!
Wasn’t sure where to put this, here seemed an appropriate place, lol."The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."
