Album Notes & Community Reviews

True to its title, 'Solo' features Egberto Gismonti completely unaccompanied, switching between his custom multi-stringed acoustic guitars and piano. The intensely technical performances bridge rigorous classical composition techniques with the raw rhythmic traditions of the Brazilian interior.
