But as the 14 superb performances here demonstrate, it can also paint India's Assamese highlands, Hawaiian beaches or the Greenfields of Canada.

RENBOURN JOHN, STEFAN GROSSMAN, IN CONCERT 1982. DVD
disponibile anche in formato VIDEO

"To label John Renbourn an English-folk guitarist, or Stefan Grossman an American-blues guitarist, amounts to the same: nothing. Renbourn, who's best known for his Pentangle association and fine solo albums, has played medieval, early classical, traditional, blues, and contemporary jazz compositions. Grossman, who also cut a pile of solo albums, has played classic and contemporary ragtime, Delta blues, boogie and regional American folk compositions, among others. Yet their performances share a single-mindedness that makes one music of all this eclecticism: a passion for the acoustic guitar and its infinite expressive possibilities. Their performance was not only one of the most musically exhilarating in my experience, but one of the most educational as well: a relaxed class on styles and technique and a distillation of British and American sensibilities."
