Fabulous how certain musicians have such an unmistakable signature sound - I find his violin so distinctive. This is an instrumental album, rock/jazz rock/fusion. Some lovely, sweeping cinematic stuff and a good concept allowing for much variety. I wasn't sold on the first track but then again, it's titled "Downtown LA" which probably wouldn't be my thing anyway! Lol! So far I've enjoyed "Stars", "Wild West" and "A Rainy Day in Vienna" which sounds scrumptious. There are a couple of manic numbers which temper the swathes of gentleness - quite entertaining - "The Restless City" is frenetic. Looking forward to "Riviera Blue" and "Mystic Mountain" ... we'll see! Incidentally, he plays a pretty mean guitar too. Armchair travelling it is then!
Ooh yes - "Riviera Blue" living up to expectation ... the start of it at any rate ... there's a tango in there ... wait - I'm on the wrong continent! Doesn't matter - any continent will do - "Antigua Bay" playing now - some reggae vibes ...
Update - "Mystic Mountain" is very nice - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1Yas_jKbvY - one to add to the fabulous last tracks of albums file.
