Album review:
"What a beautiful set of immaculate improvisations! God, the sound is so good! Usually upright bass is recorded live so that it brings out all the finger noise. Not so here. So clean, so sweet. If you are not familiar with Lenny Breau, what a treat these 2 CD's can be for you. Here using a great sounding custom 7-string guitar with a high 'A' string! Considered by the best of the jazz and country worlds to be the best living guitarist in his lifetime, he lives up to his reputation here. I have everything I can get that Lenny did, and this is my favorite alongside "The Complete Livingroom Tapes." He had incredible technique and prowess, truly killer chops. On this recording he has deepened and grown beyond anything purely physical or technical about music on a guitar. He comunicates with heartfelt passion and soul, so fully, so clearly, so cleanly, and so...transcendently. It's hard to believe how beautiful this music is. God, I love it! Please invite Lenny to live on in your life and ears, too." -- Drew A. G. Engman (Pinon Hills, CA)
