This review is from: Wires on Wood (Audio CD)

I rarely listen to jazz lest flamenco music, but I came across these guys doing their thing and

I really enjoyed listening.

Jazz musicians need to become more accessible to listeners and this is one way. I found myself

getting lost in "wires on wood" which tells a story musically. And "Tears On My Guitar", has some serious soul within the

chords and melody being offered.

This is something you can enjoy, musician or not. Sit back and relax as these guys take you half way around the world and back.
