Esmond Selwyn: The Way I Play

UK guitarist Esmond Selwyn delivers an intimate solo album, tastefully recorded by kindred spirit Alan Broadbent. His tone and style have an Old World folk lilt, patient like watching a carving by Geppetto on delicate deliveries of  “Misty” and a sublime “Blue Bossa.” His dainty string work is light and provincial during “Prelude to a Kiss” and he stretches out with elan during “I Only Have Eyes For You.” Rich and clever harmonies not usually detected are used as Third World spices during “What’s New” and “Cry Me A River.” Subtly drawing you in.
