"Juan Martin is a noted figure in flamenco guitar education, but also a dynamic and virtuosic performer in the nuevo flamenco style, combining flamenco with modern jazz and Latin chords. But I find somewhat more of the traditional in his work than in the recent offerings of such major artists as Paco de Lucia and Tomatito. I like that. These live performances are creative, interesting and his technique is clean and powerful. The album features clapping, dancing, singing, all of which give it variety, flavor and a sense of live excitement. A good choice for the aficionado or the general listener."
