Eleonora Strino - Matilde (20250 [Hi-Res]

Inspired by a painting of her father’s, guitarist Eleonora Strino’s Matilde takes jazz guitar into territory that few of her male predecessors have been able to access. Deeply rooted in both jazz and Spanish traditions –and arguably the “Spanish tinge” that Jelly Roll Morton said was definitive of the music –Strino and her group create a music that is as inventively modern as it is traditionally grounded. She is one of the most exciting guitar voices working on the current scene, extending a line that has sometimes run aground in rock and fusion. A must for anyone who enjoys jazz guitar.(Brian Morton)
