Excellent guitarist.

 

I saw her live with the local Madison Symphony Orchestra last year performing Rodrigo's Concerto de Aranjuez. I was disappointed with the high volume amplification used. Rodrigo wrote the concerto with the guitar/orchestra in balance, such that amplification is not necessary.

Having seen a fantastic Steve McCurry exhibition last weekend, I was reminded of the great Gardiner Cantata cycle (his photographs from East Asia were taken for the covers of this series).

A classic!

Grant Green's first recording at Blue Note. A wonderful bluesy piece is Seeping'. Quite good recording, too, for a 1960 record!
