Miroschnichenko has his own sound, setting the standard for XXI century fusion guitar.

Prominent guitar virtuoso and producer Roman Miroshnichenko presents another record Almanac for the upcoming 67th Grammy Awards: a stunning acoustic and electric guitar fusion of flamenco-gypsy, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean folk and Latin rhythms with textures of jazz conception.
“When one listens to the powerful guitar playing of Roman Miroschnichenko, it is easy to be reminded of Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin during his Mahavishnu period, but it soon becomes apparent that Miroschnichenko has his own fusion sound, setting the standard for XXI century fusion guitar. While he is never shy to cut loose, he also uses subtlety, mood variations and creativity throughout, mixing together tight arrangements with pure spontaneity," noted jazz journalist Scott Yanow.
Building on the successful formula that birthed Roman’s previous albums he returned to the studio with his long-time friends, such renowned musicians as multiple Grammy-winning violinist Charlie Bisharat (former member of the band Shadowfax), Bunny Brunel (Chick Corea, CAB), Dominique di Piazza (ex-John McLaughlin trio, Frank Gambale), Danish multiinstrumentalist Henrik Andersen, Gumbi Ortiz from the Al Di Meola band along with St. Petersburg Studio Orchestra and soloists from the Vladimir String Orchestra.
