This CD is fullness of good taste, sensitivity, emotion and musicality. Great technique and really good taste. I would like to put some comments here from YouTube: ->Jedi guitar playing !!!! ->Beautiful! I found this looking for Ted Greene and didn't get disappointed. Very good playing, I am stunned. ->lenny breau lives! ->Terrific playing. Thats not easy. ->(about "my funny valentine"): I can only imagine Lenny Breau smiling if he'd heard this. Great work. ->I have no words: you're a great musician ! This is what i mean when i think about "soulfulness, taste, guitar skills" ! There's everything of guitar compendium here ! ->...one guitar, no effects, just a player with a flawless technique. I pray he gains recognition as the superb musician and educator that he is. Genil has definitely formed his own voice musically. Lenny Breau lives on in Genil's playing... This is the voice of the people, those who love jazz and good music. Needless to say more. CP
