The latest from this dazzling and astonishing guitar duo surpasses 1990's award-winning Primal Magic with blazing intensity and passion. Their uptempo flamenco sound really vaults way beyond standard fare. Jorge Strunz occupies the left channel, while Ardeshir Farah holds down the right. Visual images abound, conjuring up remote, romantic islands, tropical rainforests and warm, moonlit waters. "Américas" melds the flair, dexterity and cultural roots of their combined Latin American and Middle Eastern heritages with the surrounding septet of tremendous musicians. ~ Backroads Music/Heartbeats
classic album from world music/jazz pioneers contains rumbling Latin percussion, complex melodies & double guitar runs
Recorded at Studio Sound, North Hollywood, California and Brunson Brothers, Hollywood, California.
Strunz & Farah: Jorge Strunz, Ardeshir Farah (guitar).

Ottmar Liebert, Jesse Cook, Lara & Reyes -- all have their place in modern flamenco music. But something about these guys sets them apart. Jorge Strunz and Ardeshir Farah are in top form, with their own label, Selva, and a disc that is an easygoing rival for their two Mesa classics and previous, pre-stardom releases. Ten seconds of the opening fireball, ...

Ottmar Liebert seemed to have the 1990 flamenco guitar market cornered, but a great promotional push helped L.A. club vets into the limelight with this tasty and contagious collection of jungle-fusion gems. What makes S&F work so well is the rapport their guitars have. Like Acoustic Alchemy with more ethnic elements, their nylon string flamenco stylings blend in a breezy yet melodic manner, accented with just the right amount of Rippington-esque percussion (by Long John Oliva and Luis Perez Ixoneztli) and touches of Charlie Bisharat's violin on smoothies like "Twilight ...

$13.79 
It's surprising that it's taken this dynamic gypsy guitar duo so many years to title a recording after exactly what it is they do with their intricate string tapestries. But better late than never, and Stringweave, like all their great works, is both technically sharp and musically whimsical. Jorge Strunz and Ardeshir Farah named their buoyant opening track, "Las Verduras," after "our favorite guitar players who are named after vegetables," and the tongue-in-cheek whimsy is apparent on the track. Some sections of the piece feature a higher-toned string interacting with Alberto Salas' spicy piano, while others have a darker flavor in the lead as a higher tone takes the rhythm guitar harmony role. As always, the two break in the middle for some crazy improvisations, texturing those ...

Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1989, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
This enjoyable LP presents a relaxed, agreeable live date, but not one that generates sparks. Pianist Bobby Timmons, who made his name as a writer and invaluable part of the rhythm section in the Art Blakey and Cannonball Adderley bands of the late '50s and early '60s, is a different proposition in his role here as a leader. Although able and energetic, Timmons demonstrates little taste for adventure and, consequently, can sustain himself in the spotlight only intermittently. Still, with Timmons in the company of bassist Ron Carter and drummer Albert Heath, both in their early twenties at the time of this 1961 recording, there would seem to have been potential for great things -- something beyond the sum of the parts. As it is, Carter and Heath provide little more than reliable support relative to their superior skills. Things may have sounded differently to the Village Vanguard audience, but on the LP Carter is uncharacteristically two-dimensional. His volume is about right, but the tone is rendered as an anonymous, mid-range pulsing. There is no sense of flesh, wood, and strings interacting with one another. Heath, predominantly using brushes, is also at about the right volume in the mix, but there are nuances missing ...

The Wailers/Bob Marley/Bob Marley & the Wailers: Bob Marley (vocals, guitar); Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer (vocals).
THE COMPLETE WAILERS, 1967-1972 PART I is a well-documented collection of the Wailers' pre-major-label material that casts light on some rare odds and ends. A charming take on the Archies' classic "Sugar Sugar" opens the disc, with infectious vocal interplay between Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, and Rita Marley. Other rarities include an alternate take on "Can't You See" and a b-side version of "The Letter." Especially noteworthy is "Hold on to This Feeling," a track that features some haunting, near-psychedelic, echoey doo-wop background vocal work over which Rita's lead vocals take center stage. For aficionados looking to add an indispensable piece of early Wailers work to their collection, or for neophytes seeking insight into the sounds that helped lay the groundwork for Bob Marley's legend, this is the place to turn.
Contrary to what its title may indicate, THE BEST OF THE WAILERS is not a greatest-hits collection; it was conceived, rather, as an original album. Further, ...
