Review of "Travesura Chill"
|
By: Robert Silverstein
lthough he hit the U.S. charts billed as a New Age and World Music guitarist, Spain's Jose Luis Encinas is actually a world class flamenco guitar trailblazer. Back in the '90s he began releasing several fine instrumental guitar albums that perfectly melded a breathtaking blend of Nuevo Flamenco, classical guitar techniques with wide ranging instrumental pop sensibilities that even include some well placed electric guitar sounds. His influences-including Spanish guitar legend Paco de Lucia as well as Metheny and Clapton-are pertinent in the meticulous way Encinas approaches the fretboard. For the casual listener or the seasoned guitar follower, the 2003 Encinas CD, entitled Travesura Chill, is a perfect introduction to the essence of modern Nuevo flamenco sound as there's very little in the way to distract you from the fact that Encinas is simply one of the finest guitarists out there today. Assisted by several key players, Encinas assumes center stage once again with the excellent Travesura Chill.
