5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing artistry and technique-not to be missed., August 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Reckless Precision (Audio CD)

We had the opportunity to witness this talent first hand. Fortunately,Tuck & Patti performed in our small town this spring. They were amazing and breathtaking.Tuck's styling and versitility on the guitar is unbelievable and under appreciated.And Patti's vocal range and styling was truly unique. I can only hope to experience this again. Until then, this recording (and other from the duo) will have to suffice. Definitely worth having in your collection if you appreciate guitar artistry.

5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible guitar virtuoso!, May 31, 1999

It doesn't matter if you play guitar or just appreciate good guitar music, this CD is essential. Tuck, the one-man-band-Andress plays jazz standards, funk and popular music without missing a beat. His ability to play rhythm, bass lines and the melody AT THE SAME TIME is simply unreal; and although each song is technically amazing, he never loses touch with what is most important to the song - it's individuality.

5.0 out of 5 stars The "Total Guitarist", April 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Reckless Precision (Audio CD)

Tuck Andress is beyond categorization as a guitarist and musician. He is not entirely a jazz, rock, funk, Latin or even a classical guitarist. Perhaps the best term to describe him is the "Total Guitarist"; a uniquely balanced meld of all different musical disciplines. Tuck plays with the mind and soul of a jazz guitarist ("Stella by Starlight"), the force of a rock guitarist coupled with the attitude of a funk guitarist ("Manonash"), the feel of a Latin guitarist ("Manha de Carnaval"), and with the precision and discipline of a classical guitarist (the entire CD). His musicianship is evidenced in his unprecedented ability to take familiar tunes, dress them up and make the audience laugh ("If I Only Had a Brain"). In short, Tuck Andress truly is a "Total Guitarist." If you love the guitar you'll love "Reckless Precision."

And a plea to Tuck: we'd love to hear more. How about your interpretation of Sor's edition of "Variations on a Theme by Mozart?"
