Album Notes

Take a moment to relax and enjoy yourself at Cafe Siesta.

Soothing fingerstyle guitar arrangements inspired by some of the most beautiful classical and south of the border styles.

" ...among the breeziest, most whimsical solo guitar albums of the year. " - 20th Century Guitar Magazine/July 2005

" ...a guitar-based instrumental. An excellent recording. The guitar is crystal clear... The electric bass has a warm round tone, particularly impressive... The percussion weaves in throughout the mix in a subtle but effective manner. Nice!" - Recording Magazine/June 2006

Original guitar music inspired by Brazilan, Mexican, light-jazz, and classical styles complimented with Spanish-Latin percussion, cello, acoustic guitars, mandolin, acoustic and electric bass, flute and trumpet.

If you love classical, Latin, and light-jazz guitar music, you'll enjoy the music on this CD

The music on this CD is a blend of classical technique and jazz improvisation, along with the melody, harmony and rhythm of South American music.

Steve has recorded several CDs as a member and leader of the band Voxanova. This is his first recorded solo project.

Like an instant vacation, this CD turns my office into a place of peace.

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

'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. (20th Century Guitar Magazine/July 2005)
