Joscho Stephan is one of the hottest up and coming guitarists of our time. I say "Up and Coming" because I think people will be listening to his CDs for the next 100 years! If you like gypsy jazz, this kid will blow your mind. He is probably the FASTEST gypsy jazz guitarist EVER! Now, because of that, I remember what my jazz guitar teacher told me years ago-"When you try to play a lot of notes, you tend to slip into what is comfortable for you, which diminishes the 'improvisational' aspect of your solos". With that said, you hear him repeat a lot of phrases (AT MIND BLOWING TEMPOS) and some might be put off by that. Not me. I can appreciate that not everyone is going to be virtuosic in EVERY solo. Like 'we' guitarists like to say, "Man, sometimes you just wanna hear somebody SHRED!"

If I may, i would call this album a compendium on GYPSY SHRED! This guy is maniac-ally fast! I enjoyed it and if you enjoy hearing gypsy jazz at break-neck tempos, you will too.

PS-the album does have a few ballads. :-) ~Ed G.
