new Antonio Forcione al*** - Tears of Joy
Posted by: Anna Tooth on 03 June 2005
Hi
We finally have Antonio's long awaited brand new studio album!
Tears of Joy - Naim CD087 - is an awesome mixture of utterly compelling original material which features:
Jenny Adejayan - cello
Adriano Adewale - percussion
Igor Outkine - accordion
plus special guests:
Ronu Majumdar - bansuri
Nathan Thomson - double bass
Enzo Zirilli - drums/percussion
Alex Wilson - piano
Micheline Van Hautem - vocals
An awesome mixture of utterly compelling original material, the music on Tears Of Joy has been written, arranged and produced by Antonio Forcione. He evokes a wide range of emotions from deep contemplation to ecstatic celebration, combining technical brilliance with emotional depth.
Hailed as the ‘Jimi Hendrix’ of the acoustic guitar, award-winning Forcione is considered one of the most charismatic and inventive performers to come out of Europe in recent years. Artistic, intense and formidably inventive, Antonio transcends the familiar preconceptions of jazz guitarist, playing a vibrant and evocative music described by Jazz FM as “world music with a universal appeal”.
His remarkable originality stems from his creative quest to use every imaginable part of the acoustic guitar without losing sight of a refined musical sense, playing music tinged with echoes of African, flamenco, Brazilian, classical and blues with a hint of Indian Raga.
Jazzwise say in their current June edition:
"Recorded at Red Kit Studios in Wales, the sonic quality is absolutely first class. Taking sole writing, arranging and production credits, Forcione must surely be considered one of the most dynamic and imaginative guitarists on the contemporary scene"
And Hi Fi Choice say:
"Forcione remains one of Europe's guitar heroes; quick, powerful, positive, melodic and above all - he swings"

What do you think of the 3 first tunes, Liam? 
This CD is like a jukebox, 3 songs for one pound. You have to add another coin to continue...
Seriously, just e-mail the E-Store support to take an arrangement. It's a good idea to supply your invoice number in your message, along with the defective CD catalog number (CD #87).
Bye.
