Jim Campilongo - Man In A Ball In A Ball (CD)

All guitar instrumental recorded in Argentina by legendary guitarist Jim Campilongo. THE NEW YORK TIMES-"Through the lean ropy sound of his Fender Telecaster, Mr. Campilongo connects American styles (Blues, Rock, Country, Jazz, R&B) in a sly knowing way." THE NEW YORKER- "Jim Campilongo holds court. American music is a melting pot of influences, but few guitarists capture the nuances as well as Campilongo does." NY POST-"Campilongo is one of those New York secrets. A master of the electric guitar, he weaves in spaghetti western picks, blues chords and jazz refs into his haunting tunes, a combo of originals and covers." NYC VILLAGE VOICE-"An engaging improviser whose interest in entertainment is equal to his interest in art. His supple moves can keep an audience enthralled - meaning their asses wiggle and their minds jiggle." JAZZTIMES-"You've got the makings of a very twisted guitar hero who deserves worshipping. Clever, crafty, quirky and cool." THE NEW YORKER-"There it was again: the stinging treble, the spooky overtones, the strings snapping and booming under his hands the sound of a Tele being played as skillfully and exuberantly as it can be played it sounded like nothing and nobody else sounded like Jim Campilongo." TIMEOUT NEW YORK-"New York has no shortage of guitar heroes but few cover as many bases as Jim Campilongo reveals a range that extends from seductive country-swing to atmospheric jazz and well beyond."
