'C'est la quatrième collaboration enregistrées entre les guitaristes acoustiques John Renbourn et Stefan Grossman, a enregistré en 1987 et produit par Jones de Led Zeppelin John Paul. Comme sur ses trois prédécesseurs, l'appel se trouve dans le contraste entre Renbourn le style folklorique traditionnelle britannique et Grossman tendances du jazz et du folk-blues. Idéalement, comme sur 'Rites of Passage' et 'Gardien de la vigne,' Renbourn se concentre sur un réseau complexe, folk-modèle basé sur ce que Grossman décore avec des embellissements bluesy. les deux ont un intérêt déjà exprimé dans l'adaptation classiques du jazz à leur approche à deux guitares, et ils le font ici sur la norme 'Round About Midnight', puis rappelle ses travaux antérieurs sur des airs par le regretté Charles Mingus avec le lugubre 'Adieu à M. Mingus. Depuis qu'ils jouent différemment, leurs lignes de guitare peuvent être identifiés et appréciés séparément, même quand ils sont entremêlement '' -. All Music Guide De nombreux guitaristes acoustiques sans doute avoir un certain degré de familiarité avec l'oeuvre de John Renbourn et Stefan Grossman, mais pour l'inconnu, voici un bref historique: Dans les années 1970 Stefan effectue régulièrement des tournées, parfois sur double-factures avec Renbourn. Le destin est intervenu lorsque, par erreur, un promoteur, il a été annoncé que ces deux légendes en le making-serait l'exécution des duos de guitare. Bien qu'ils n'avaient pas travaillé en tant que duo avant, les guitaristes ont décidé de lui donner un aller, et les graines ont été plantées pour une série d'albums en duo fantastiques. Le jeu sur cet album ainsi que sous le volcan et leur premier album éponyme, est un melting-pot fascinant de styles européens et américains de musique, et la paire atteint un son aussi élégant que c'est vaste. Bien que leurs contributions individuelles au monde de la guitare avait été lourde avant leur partenariat, ces albums en duo servent à prendre à la fois 'guitaristes jouant à de nouveaux sommets, et leurs compositions durables continuent à sonner frais aujourd'hui.' / Guitare / Partition Cd
