Ocean Memories (Disc1)
Review: Brilliant Brazilian jazz guitarist at the end of his career branches out into new territory. Both CDs feature the guitarist playing solo interpretations of the ocean and other things. Disc 1 was originally released on Takoma Records, John Fahey's label, and the playing style is in the same vein, yet the guitarist is pulling from deep within his cultural traditions.
FCCs: none
If You Like: John Fahey, Egberto Gismonti, Joao Gilberto, Laurindo Almeida
