Castelsardo

This one's for Rubina Carmona. She and Marcos nurtured the flamenco scene in Seattle in the 90's and 2000's. We became friends though our mutual love of Flamenco.  

Thanks to her, I had the opportunity to connect with some guitarists including Victor Salazar, Ben Woods, and Istvan Rez who became my closest friends.

Last week Victor Salazar sent me a guitar track to see what kind of collaboration we could come up with.  I thought something Flamenco-Fado-Bossa Nova would be fun.  This is the result.

Song for Rubina

An original composition inspired by a guitar built by luthier Toru Fujii, Seki, Japan.

Cosmic Coincidence

AfterTheStorm- GuitarDuo  Blane & Sugi

An experiment with a style I never play.  It was fun to do something completely different.

A Love Note for Kotomi.

I primarily play nylon-stringed flamenco guitars but occasionally play a steel-stringed acoustic guitar.  I'm a flamenco aficionado but I would describe my style as world jazz with flamenco overtones.  Most of my compositions are guitar duets.  I see music as a form of conversation so duets lend themselves well to this concept.
