Search - Dan Lambert :: Melodies / Improvisations

FOLK-JAZZ is a good description of Dan Lambert's third CD in as many years. FOLK for the earthiness and richness of the melodies, JAZZ for the improvisational aspect of his guitar playing. The layered guitars of Dan's previous two releases, THE CLEARING and PLAIDS, have been replaced by a solo guitar, so you get to hear Dan by himself, in an intimate setting just like one of his live shows.Dan's playing has a hypnotic simplicity that quietly captures you, as well as an underlying sophistication that holds you there, llistening for which direction the musical journey will take. The styles flow over and around each other like eddies in a high ountain stream. Sometimes the movement is fast, turbulent, convoluted - at other points, cool and clear with barely a ripple in its glassy surface. This is music that is easy to wander through, easy to lose yourself in.
