Brian Citro’s Acoustic Pastime – Solo Guitar just released from ears&eyes Records!
My nephew Brian Citro has just had released an album of solo jazz guitar (5 of his original compositions 2 Thelonious Monk tunes, and a jazz standard) from Chicago’s ears&eyes Records. It’s called “Acoustic Pastime – Solo Guitar,” and it’s a dreamy, meditative, beautiful album and I highly recommend it. Also, I wrote the liner notes to it! You can purchase the album (for any price you wish) HERE.And you can read my liner notes there too!
