Editorial Reviews

Defying categories since the mid-70's as co-founder of the groundbreaking Doah World Music Ensemble, Randy Armstrong continues to explore new horizons with his new solo CD and 10th release, No Regrets. It features a stunning array of eleven songs, including an arrangement of Miles Davis’ classic Blue in Green.

Crossing boundaries of style and world fusion music, No Regrets combines many of the world's traditions from sources as diverse as mainstream American jazz, Native American flute playing, West African drumming and North Indian sitar motifs – all blended by the ingenious combination of acoustic, high-tech, synthesized technology.

5.0 out of 5 stars His bet album ever!!, June 19, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: No Regrets (Audio CD)

This album is like listening to a whole season of concerts in one sitting. He performs on two rare Michael Jacobson-Hardy handmade cutaway guitars, as well a 1948 vintage Gibson L7 jazz guitar and a Godin Jazz Multiac synth-guitar. In addition, he deftly coaxes echoes from cultures around the world playing the North Indian sitar and tabla, West African djembe, balafon, djun-djun, Lakota flute, and other instruments which he plays with equal virtuosity.
Nobody can define his music as world music. He explores a genre-defying variety of styles, including jazz, world fusion, western classical counterpoint, flamenco, North Indian, and Native American.

Randy's work with Doa (later Do'ah)is amazing and his solo and duo albums are just as wonderful. Randy's music is best categorized (if you must) as "world music" but it defies boundaries...it is lovely and exquisite music...full of rhythm and lovely melodies. I highly recommend this and all of his music. An extraordinary musician is he.
