Sunday listening in the lobby of the Museum today is Return to Forever’s fusion classic, “Romantic Warrior”. With Al Di Meola’s stellar guitar runs playing off of Stanley Clarke’s equally phenomenal bass playing, the band’s 1976 release remains a stellar example of guitar jazz fusion. Enjoy.
Sunday listening in the NGM Lobby features the marvelous Chinese classical guitarists Xuefei Yang. Here she performs William Walton’s “Bagatelles”. Enjoy.
Progressive rock guitar finds a new voice in guitarist Pete Prown, of Vintage Guitar Magazine and the NGM Advisory Board. Prown has just released his latest album, “Guitar Garden III”, and it’s classic prog in the best sense of the term. Says Prown, “I really want to celebrate all my ’70s guitar and bass influences on this one: Robert Fripp, David Gilmour, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, as well as all the great analog synth players. There are nods to Rick Wright and Tangerine Dream here, too.”
.
For a bonus track, Prown included the guitar solo “Swedish Trousers”, a demo he recorded in 1997 at Yngwie Malmsteen’s studio. Cooler still, he played it using Yngwie’s “Rising Force” early-’70s Strat and a Marshall half-stack. Click here for sound clips: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/guitargarden3.
