GAYLE, PHILIP - pnbna

""The second album from this Houston-based guitarist (the self-released Keguribap was the first) is a jaw-dropping collection of solo acoustic improvisations, displaying not only striking innovative technique but also a playfulness that can be sorely lacking in much improvisational music. Resonant, often lyrical, guitar passages intertwine with cello, mandolin, acoustic bass, water phone and rolling pin. As with Gayle's debut, haunting Asian motifs also periodically surface." - fleece records
