Tommy Emmanuel & Frank Vignola. Gary Mazzaroppi on the bass. (C'mon, give the bassist some!) A coupla virtuoso guitar players, live in the studio. Been a fan of Emmanuel for some years. He's a charismatic Aussie who's about the best around at what he does. Which is, in live context, play a one-man-band on the acoustic guitar. With attitude. Vignola's my buddy's guitar teacher. Turns out he'd been gigging with Les Paul and the Mark O'Connor Hot Club Trio. (Presumably in his off time.)

An album of old familiar jazz standards, some Django-inspired, a country tune ('Sweet Dreams')and some blues. Done beautifully. Jeez, (I'm listening as we speak), this is sweet and tasty. Just superfine musically. The old adage (it's about the song) holds firm. But as a guitarist, I'm drooling. Five stars, a must for fans of old jazz and guitar.

The song selection is diverse and each tune projects a different tempo. These artists are perfectionists yet their music has such
a relaxed quality about it that it flows like a conversation between good friends. When I listen to this album I feel as though I'm right there with them at this jam session. If you enjoy jazz, you will certainly enjoy this cd. It's exuberant, refreshing and relaxing. Kudos to Tommy Emmanuel cpg, Frank Vignola and Gary Mazzaroppi. You will definitely want to add this cd to your collection.

I have been a fan of both Tommy Emmanuel and Frank Vignola for years. Individually they produce amazing music with the highest degree of technical expertise while all the time keeping the joy and the fun in it for themselves and their lucky listeners. This album captures the essence of all they do separately and multiplies it by a whole lot more than two. It is an absolute blast to listen to, one of those albums that makes you wish you had been in the studio when it was recorded. This one almost immediately joined Chester and Lester, the phenomenal 1975 pairing of Chet Atkins and Les Paul, on my very short list of desert island albums.
