John Stowell - Solitary Tales (CD)

John Stowell follows up on his last Origin release "Resonance" with another solo outing, this time recorded live in the studio of master guitar luthier Mike Doolin in front of a highly attentive & discerning audience. Besides his own originals, Stowell presents new takes on Bill Evans' "Funny Man," "Blues Connotation" by Ornette Coleman, and Cole Porter's classic "Everything I Love." Most noted for his seminal duo work with bassist David Friesen in the '70s, Stowell's daringly original sound and concept have earned him the respect of the finest musicians in the world. "Solitary Tales" displays all of this while adding another gem to the solo guitar canon."... Stowell transcends the label of jazz guitarist." - Los Angeles Times.
