SOLO GUITAR

Driven by a vision to treat the instrument as an orchestral piano, Echoes of the Mediterranean is a vivid retrospective spanning more than three decades of recording history. Melding a deep jazz foundation with contemporary classical structures, Sabino de Bari guides listeners on an intimate sonic journey. Through the distinct voices of standard classical, 10-string decacorde, fretless, and electric guitars, single strings are transformed into a panoramic canvas of rich, Mediterranean colors.

What the Critics Say:

• “He has it sounding like a bass, a plucked cello, a piano, a flamenco guitar, all within a few minutes; astonishing.” – Brian Morton, Jazz Journal

• “An album to luxuriate in as Sabino de Bari... embrace[s] jazz, improvisation, contemporary classical and ancient music in an intoxicating and eclectic programme.” – Nick Lea, Jazz Views

• “There is a sparseness about the arrangements and delivery that focusses the attention on the smallest detail in de Bari's guitar playing...” – Jazz Views
