Diego Barber: One Minute Later

Guitarist Diego Barber puts together a richly textured and thoughtful album with Alejandro Coello/mar-perc, Eric Harland/dr and Ben Williams/b. He shows his rich and gentle touch with solo work on a lovely nylon guitar piece “Elvira Maria” while a bass duet with Williams produces gentle shadows on “Mulhacen.” Coellos’ marimbas create a fragrant pulse on “Atlas” while the ripples of rhythm for rich textures during “Dilar River.” Most creative is the opening “Jacaranda” which interweaves soft guitar or bass before interludes of thunderous percussion come and go light flash floods. This must be a treat in concert-any gigs coming up?
