Jim Campilongo - Man in a Ball, in a Ball - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

All guitar instrumental recorded in Argentina by legendary guitarist Jim Campilongo. THE NEW YORK TIMES-InchThrough the lean ropy sound of his Fender Telecaster, Mr. Campilongo connects American styles (Blues, Rock, Country, Jazz, R&B) in a sly knowing way.Inch THE NEW YORKER- InchJim Campilongo holds court. American music is a melting pot of influences, but few guitarists capture the nuances as well as Campilongo does.Inch NY POST-InchCampilongo 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.Inch NYC VILLAGE VOICE-InchAn 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.Inch JAZZTIMES-InchYou've got the makings of a very twisted guitar hero who deserves worshipping. Clever, crafty, quirky and cool.Inch THE NEW YORKER-InchThere 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.Inch TIMEOUT NEW YORK-InchNew 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.Inch Album Tracks 1.
