Synopsis

Album Description
Hailing from Bayonne in the Basque region of southwest France, Sylvain Luc is one of today's most compelling acoustic guitar stylists. On Young and Fine he reunites with the remarkable musicians of Trio Sud - bassist Jean-Marc Jafet and drummer Andre Ceccarelli. Their third Dreyfus recording (Luc's sixth overall), Young and Fine, takes its title from a lovely composition by a recently departed European jazz legend, Austria's Josef Zawinul.

Luc weaves a complex web of acoustic-electric sound, nylonand steel-string textures, showcasing his own music, venerable jazz standards (Wayne Shorter, Dizzy Gillespie), classics of modern jazz repertoire (Joseph Zawinul) and even well-chosen items (Stevie Wonder) from the pop realm.

Incredible music...
Pierre | Volvic - France | 04/17/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you love guitar, not just only jazz guitar, you have to listen to this record, definitely on the best guitar CD of 2002 ( well, one of the best guitar album of the last 10 years should I even say ). Sylvain plays with such finesse and technical expertise throughout the whole album, yet keeping it easy to listen to. His acoustic tone is gorgeous, and Jafet and Ceccarelli just are perfect as always on bass and drums respectively. Try and be convinced..."
Brilliant! Inventive! Technically Outstanding!

"After over forty five years of playing and listining to jazz guitar, I can attest to the virtuosity, creative genius and exciting listening Sylvain Luc adds to the long list of performers any serious guitarist is familiar with. I find him exceptional in every category and know you will enjoy and treasure his albums (3). His ensemble of Base and Drums is superb and as exciting as Sylvain is. Truely enjoyable and rewarding listening for guitarists and jazz lovers as well."
I can't say enough good things about this music!

"This instrumental release has fingerstyle jazz guitar, string bass and drums. The musical ideas are fresh, ultra hip, accesible, and very pleasurable to hear. The music stands up to serious listening, but serves equally well in the background. If you love fingerstyle jazz guitar, buy this and "SUD". They are both wonderful!"
