After years of rock 'n roll, David Vito Gregoli began playing nylon classical guitar in college (getting a Bachelor's degree with a Musicology emphasis.) One of his teachers was a South American guitar scholar, Richard Stover, who introduced him to Torroba, Villa Lobos, Barrios and Jobim, among others. This, along with his mother's fancy for Afro-Cuban dance, eventually led to this project.
This CD is a collection of tunes from all areas of Nylon guitar: classical, flamenco, Latin and jazz.
From the concert hall -- to the jungles of Paraguay -- to the dance floors of Barcelona, these are the sounds of the Nylon Guitar. An Organic sound.
Guest performances by World Percussionist Geoffrey Gordon (Robbie Robertson, Rita Coolidge, Tulku, Krisna Das), drummer John Mahon (Elton John Band), World flautist Suzanne Teng and keyboardist David Joyce (Natalie Cole, Burt Bacharach, David Byrne, Chris Issak.)
