Great for any mood

alisonia@gateway.net | Cincinnati, Ohio | 08/23/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is my most favorite CD. I had never heard his music before I saw him play a "living room" concert for the public radio channel in Cincinnati in the fall of '98. Cafe Paradiso was given to the guests and since then it's been my first choice no matter what my mood is. I feel really lucky to have been able to see this amazing muscian play live! I am so moved every time I listen to this CD. So much so that I would love to see if he would play at my wedding."

Stunning CD

"I met Erquiaga during the "Jamey Aebersold Summer Jazz Camp" in 2005. The camp is rather traditional style Jazz camp and more focused on improvising. I am a guitar player and Erquiaga was our combo teacher. We had three sax players, a piano, drums, an upright bass, and a guitar. You get the idea... I found him an excellent Jazz music educator. And I also found him as a great jazz guitar player after seeing him playing during the faculty concert. The camp is all about Jazz.

After the camp is over, I did some web search to find any Erquiaga's CD and I found this one. Without thinking much nor reading about it I just ordered it. When I put the CD into my CD player, I was just stunned in two ways: (1) It was not a Jazz. (2) What a great music it is. I was amazed by his versatility and the beauty of his music no matter what it is. I normally listen to Jazz but this CD is very frequently placed on my CD player. Great work Erquiaga! I am truely impressed."

"I own hundreds of guitar music tapes and CDs by as many artists. I must say that I was stunned by this arrangement of Presto (JS Bach) and consider it one of the finest performances I have ever heard. This CD is 1 of the best collections of guitar music I have even heard, I would pay $ for the second CD, if Steve were to ever produce another."
