Who would've thought that a solo instrument album could be this versatile and engaging? It's like a margarita IV for the middle of my workday, and the perfect dinner companion when I get home.

Nice!... This is an outstanding recording
author: Recording Magazine
'Sambalite' is a guitar-based instrumental. An excellent recording. The guitar is crystal clear with no bite or string artifacts. The electric bass has a warm round tone, particularly impressive... The percussion weaves in throughout the mix in a subtle but effective manner. Nice!... This is an outstanding recording." (Recording Magazine/June 2006)

Among the breeziest, most whimsical solo guitar albums of the year.
author: 20th Century Guitar Magazine
A set of light-jazz mixed and flavored with evocative Latin and Brazilian samba jazz sounds, "Cafe Siesta" is a tasty solo instrumental guitar CD flavored with some fine intimate musical moods. Also embracing low key neoclassical guitar sounds tempered with a fondness for Erik Satie, Steve Funk's work on nylon, steel, 12-string, mandolin and electric bass is exemplary here. A showcase for his guitar work - with backing on flutes, bongo, cello, electric bass and castanets - the eleven track CD is certainly among the breeziest, most whimsical solo guitar albums of the year.
