another “Genteel” review

Jamie Anderson from Indie-Music.com wrote a nice little review about my latest recording effort:

Classical pieces like Milano’s “Ricercare IV” are included on this instrumental guitar disc; as are great finger style covers of Beatles classics “In My Life” and “Yesterday.” No matter the time period, every piece is executed beautifully, with just enough embellishment to showcase the great melodies. He studied with Muriel Anderson and Mario DaSilva at Belmont University, and it shows in songs like “A Dance for Muriel” and “Sakura Variations,” the latter he calls “a sort of musical Holy Grail.”

He includes one original, the title cut. Originally written to play with a string duo, he offers a solo version here so he could really show his interpretive style. Its gorgeous melody soars through several different moods, from delicate to percussive. I love his use of harmonics – something he also uses effectively in “Yesterday.” A series of short pieces adapted from Scottish lute music wrap up the disc, with the full-length “Farewell to Stromness” fitting in nicely at the very end.

The guitar is recorded well with few, if any, effects. It’s perfect background for a quiet Sunday or at the end of a workday, with a glass of rose in hand. Recommended.
