Album Notes & Community Reviews

Diverging from his high-octane electric fusion past, the virtuoso guitarist explores lush, contemplative acoustic textures embellished with subtle guitar synthesizers. 'Cielo e Terra' heavily utilizes the Synclavier to create a sweeping, ethereal backdrop, bridging the gap between Latin jazz and the emerging new age aesthetic.
