Synopsis

Album Description

"Not One Word" from Washington DC's Tom Principato is an all instrumental disc, 9 of the 10 songs having been composed by Tom. The lone cover is a version of War's "Slippin' Into Darkness." This CD is the usual ecclectic mix, covering what is even for Principato, a wide and varied range of styles. The set ranges from the Eastern-influenced, to Latin-rock, Hendrix influenced rock tunes, neo-classical pieces, funk, and jazz balladry.There are also the patented Principato atmospheric ballads, too. Guests include Gali Sanchez (percussion), Robbie Magruder (Mary Chapin Carpenter/Roy Buchanan), Wade Matthews (Nils Lofgren), Peter Bonta (Mary Chapin Carpenter) along with Tom's current Band members. A must for fans of guitar and all styles of music!

CD Reviews

Excellent Versatility!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Principato's latest release is a real gem on which he demonstrates a substantial amount of versatility moving from Jazz to Blues to Flamengo to Rock. All of the songs are of on an even, moderately paced tempo, making the stylistic changes subtle.The opening number is the beautiful flamenoesque sounding piece "One Night in Hindustan". Principato then pays tribute to Carlos Santana on "Santana Claus" and "Mi Solea", shifting briefly to soft Rock on two numbers "67/68" and Wars "Slippin into Darkness". There are also three smooth Jazz flavored numbers, "Dark is the Night", "Fallen Angels" and "Another Place, Another Time". Finally, Principato plays "Until We Meet Again" which uses chords from, and is essentially a plug for, his new guitar book, "Open String Guitar". This is an enjoyable CD for a quite evening or when entertaining. 5 Stars all the way."

Excellent Instrumental Guitar Music

"This is Tom's latest all-instrumental studio release. It features nine new Principato originals, as well as a cover of War's "Slippin' Into Darkness." Featured musicians include Peter Bonta (keyboards and acoustic guitar), John Perry (bass), Clark Matthews (drums), Gali Sanchez (percussion), Wes Johnson (drums), ElTorro Gamble (drums), Wade Matthews (bass), and Robbie Magruder (drums). Tom guitar is his voice on this disc. I believe it's his finest work yet."
