The mastery of his instrument is a given; it is just that his music is never flashy or overindulgent, thus the nod. That fact is evident in previous discs on his Endectomorph Music label; the ...

Juanma Trujillo: Howl

Read "Howl" reviewed by Jerome Wilson

by Jerome Wilson

Guitarist Juanma Trujillo's Howl explores some of the ways acoustic guitar can flourish in a small jazz group setting.

In this way jazz is allowed to grow and develop whilst remaining true to ...
