Bryan and the Haggards: Pretend It's The End of the World

by Raul d'Gama Rose

Bryan and the Haggards: Pretend It's the End of the World

by AAJ Italy Staff
Le vicende artistiche e umane della leggenda del country Merle Haggard hanno seguito un percorso comune a molti grandi della musica. Un'infanzia difficile, una vita condita da detenzioni e umiliazioni, la musica come unico momento di riscatto, il riconoscimento tardivo del proprio talento e della propria arte.

There is a refreshing, albeit immediate, sense of naïveté about the music of guitarist Jon Lundbom. As the music progresses, however, it becomes evident that Lundbom wears this almost childlike wonder as a rather thin mask, belying a graceful sophistication that marks an apparent determination to go beyond the mere skin of sound. This is eminently ...
Jon Lundbom & Big Five Chord: Accomplish Jazz

by Jakob Baekgaard
The lineage of guitarists with a lyrical bent is staggering. From Charlie Christian to Kurt Rosenwinkel, guitarists have often been praised not only for their technical skills, but also for their ability to sculpt finely woven lines of melody.
