No true fan of the guitar should be without this amazing album
Format:Audio albumThe late Scott Chinery was well known as a connisseur of classic guitars, and his collection of one-of-a-kind and vintage guitars was unparalleled.
He contacted guitar legend Steve Howe (Yes, Asia, GTR) about recording an album featuring 50 or 60 of his prized instruments. Steve recruited his good friend jazz guitarist Martin Taylor to join him on the album, and in fact. Taylor plays the lion's share of the pieces.
The set list is a combination of standards and originals, played on everything from late 19th century harp guitars, to early 20th century Lloyd Loar L-5 Gibsons, to D'Angelico and D'Aquisto teardrop shaped models, to Gretsch electric Penguins.
No backing rhythm instruments...just Howe and Taylor working the way through tunes such as "All the Things You Are", "Moon River", "Smile", "Goofus" and originals such as "Two Teardrops", "No Pedestrians", "Tailpiece" and others.
The sounds of these rare and antique instruments are beautifully captured, and Howe's production is flawless.
If you are a fan of all things "guitar", you simply cannot be without this album
enjoy
