Esteban is at his best in front of a live audience, communicating some of the most moving, laid back music that I have ever heard in my life. This CD will cause you to long to see him and band live! They have that rare spark with the audience which makes music an experience.
The mix of flamenco, jazz and classical has a deeply spiritual feel, and while an incredible technician, Esteban's music comes straight from the heart and soul. I like to put this one on when the whole world seems uptight, give it a try!

Esteban is a gifted musician, combined with an equally outstanding group of bandmates. Seeing him in concert is a magical night. These two cd's show the incredible talent he and his band has. When you have Jesse McQuire in his band for this concert, you know the trumpet and guitar are going to sound superb together. I live in Arizona and have seen him and met him dozens of times and he gets better every year. I would also highly recommend his DVD concert "Esteban & Friends in Sedona" with Eugene Fodor and Ronan Tynan.

A very cool double CD! This is essential Esteban in concert. A blend of familiar covers ("Eleanor Rigby," "Nights In White Satin," and "Runaway") with original compositions like Esteban's signature piece, "Duende." There's something for everyone on this album. Esteban and his band are superb. I love the energy of this album!

Note: Don't be swayed by the one-star review preceding this one. To date, the only "reviews" Mr. Ospino has submitted to Amazon are for Esteban CD's: 11 IDENTICAL paragraphs in which he changed only the title. Need I say more?

This is Esteban at his finest. He demonstrates his great feel and range on the guitar. A wonderful selection of music performed on the guitar by one of the world's best!

Hey, Mr. Ospino, just because Esteban is not a Spaniard doesn't mean he can't play the spanish guitar! Are you aware or may be not, that he studied under Andres Segovia, the world-renowned Spanish classical guitarist, who gave him his Spanish name! Or, maybe you didn't even hear or know Andres Segovia! Then, you are not even qualified in the first place to post your review because you are either deaf or can't recognize the sound of a spanish guitar? If that is the case, it is understandable but just keep your comment to yourself!
Definitely, hundreds of concert goers can't go wrong to see and hear Esteban play his guitar and, more importantly, hundreds of buyers can't go wrong when they bought his CDs!!!

STOP! Hey before you buy this cd, let me tell you something: This is not a Spanish Guitar player, not even a Spanish like one. This guy is just a begginer-like player, he's harmonically and technicaly handicapped. Somebody has to stop this guy. Tell him the truth: You can't play! I don't know what did he do to get his contract, but when i heard this cd, this came to me: He's the William Hung of the Guitar, that maybe learned to play with the AKORDES tuition software. Not even him would buy this cd! I repeat, DO NOT BUY THIS TRASH! PS: if you dont know who william hung is, visit his site: [...] .
