Album Notes

"Whatnot" is the Acoustic/New Age vehicle of guitarist and composer Richard Franklin. Perhaps better known as a "smooth jazz" player, this CD showcases music featuring acoustic guitars. Richard's early musical background was in classic guitar - as a student of Carlos Barbosa-Lima and Sophocles Papas, his lineage goes directly back to the great Andres Segovia. A very successful classic guitarist, he performed extensively in recital and with orchestras; he also won a number of performance competitions. Acoustic guitar music flows naturally from this well.

The music of "Whatnot" is readily accessible, even on the first hearing, as it features lush harmonies, attractive melodies, and warm acoustic guitar tone. Repeated listening will be rewarded with an appreciation of the care, skill and subtlety with which this material is crafted and performed. The music is positive, up-beat, and always very satisfying.
