Gilbert Isbin Review of "Red Wine" @ iTunes is music incorporates both the classical and jazz genres. And also transcends them. His work brings to mind that of the late Isaac Guillory, with his additional penchant for the self-penned and the Folk. His writing is always reflective, and helps the listener arrive at a condition of mental stability: the kind of cerebral calm that allows one to muse and ponder in the most positive way. Amongst his originals, are the occasional Isbin interpretation of a Hendrix here, or a Flemish medieval song there. Of these, by far the most rewarding is his treatment of Django Reinhart's "Nuages". How appropriate that a great Belgian is shown proper respect by one of his fellow-countrymen. And to think that some of my fellow Brits enjoy playing a stupid game called "Name Ten Famous Belgians". They just show themselves to be duffers, and INSULAR duffers at that! Whether Gilbert Isbin will ever be a TRULY "famous" Belgian, is perhaps in the lap of the gods, but for sure, with albums like this he can only succeed in building a fine reputation. © Folk World Happy At Your Doorstep Little Wing Fleur's Dance Gequetst Ben IC Van Binnen Simple Pleasure Nuages
