Album Description
Jazz guitarist Margaret Slovak’s comeback album after overcoming major physical
problems caused by a car accident is a quietly inventive trio set filled with original
heartfelt compositions and subtle creativity.
Joined by bassist Harvie S and drummer Michael Sarin, Margaret Slovak displays a
personal style on both nylon string and electric guitars, performing ten of her
colorful originals.
Back in 2003 Margaret Slovak, an up-and-coming guitarist with great potential and
her own sound, was seriously hurt in a car accident that damaged her right hand,
arm, shoulder and brachial plexus. After many operations and years of struggle, she
is now well on her way to making a successful comeback.
Ballad for Brad, her long awaited fourth album as a leader, features the guitarist in
top form in a trio with bassist Harvie S and drummer Michael Sarin. The project is
named after her beloved husband Brad Buchholz who has had a longtime struggle
with cancer. Margaret Slovak contributed all ten compositions and, while the tempos
are generally laidback and the improvisations are thoughtful, the music is filled with
creative ideas and telepathic interplay by the trio.
