Ottmar Liebert between '97 and 2000-New Mexico guitarist Daniel Ward stakes out his
own musical territory with the 2006 CD release of After The Storm. Much like the
scenery around the Santa Fe / Sedona area of the southwest, Daniel Ward's guitar
music is both pastoral and harmonically satisfying. Demonstrating impeccable
technique and a knack for composing Nuevo flamenco, World beat jazz and soft samba
sounds, Ward excels on nylon string guitar, electric guitar, bass, percussion, and
keyboards while receiving support from percussionist John Bartlit, and a number of
side players.
