Synopsis

Album Description

An all acoustic instrumental collection of laid back jazz standards done in ensemble style, this recording features intricate interplay between mandolin and guitar, over a tightly woven texture of bass and drums. It's very hip jazz for the serious listener, but also suitable as a sensual, romantic backdrop for (shall we say) a "wider range of activities."

CD Reviews

Like Siamese Twins of Swing...

Ted Eschliman | Lincoln, NE United States | 06/20/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"From the new Master of Mandolin Swing, Don Stiernberg and ace architect of the New Acoustic, guitarist John Carlini, backed by one of Chicago's hottest rhythm sections, comes Blue Night Records release, "Angel Eyes," a collection of some of the 20th century's inarguably greatest jazz standards. From their strings to your ears, this is one of the most refreshing acoustic jazz releases of the new Millennium.
Recorded in all its acoustic purity in the studio of Chicago ace producer Steve Rashid, this recording breaks new ground in string swing. Familiar music that never overstays its welcome, these eleven songs are performed in refreshing new light.
If you thought Stiernberg's "Unseasonably Cool" was great, you aren't going to believe a seasoned performer like Stiernberg could sound any better.
But he does...
Teaming up with East Coast musician John Carlini, these two complement each other thematically, volleying clever licks, seamlessly trading solo and supporting roles like Siamese twins. Like two instruments, one brain.
Like peanut butter and jelly..."

"Ever go a through a string of near-misses on your music purchases, and then finally buy something that is completely and utterly satisfying? This is one of those great CDs that have earned a permanent place on my playlist. If you are an enthusiast of great jazz guitar, great jazz mandolin, or great jazz combos, you'll be satisfied. And if, like me, you're a fan of all three...I don't think this can be beat."
