Album Notes & Community Reviews

Preceding his massive commercial breakthrough with bossa nova, the virtuoso guitarist applies his classical, nylon-string technique to a set of standard bop repertoire. The unamplified, intimately recorded trio setting highlights a highly sophisticated fingerpicking style that successfully translates horn-driven lines to the acoustic guitar.
