Joe Diorio - Solo Guitar


Depois desse hiato de quase 2 meses...o retorno! Agora numas de também retornar ás searas jazzísticas por um momento. Hoje com esse primeiro album solo de Joe Diorio, lançado em 1975, e como o nome deixa claro, ele acompanha a si próprio em algumas faixas, e em outras é puro chord-melody. Ninguém melhor do que o mesmo para falar:

"There is a deep satisfaction playing solo guitar which brings inner strength knowing that all the music came from within you. This magical instrument contains the means to play the complete musical scope: a single melody line, harmony, rhythm and counterpoint. With a few pieces of wood and six strings, man has produced some of the sweetest music on this planet.

I also feel that the guitar is taking a great turn away from the traditional ways of playing which has been so popular for a number of years now. This turn towards abstract melody and harmony will again prove how unique and adaptable this miraculous instrument is.

I would like to give a brief explanation of how my original compositions came about.

"Call to the Center" was inspired as the sun was setting one evening. It reminded me of a holy man calling his people to prayer.

"Poem" came about after much listening to Horowitz playing the music of Scriabin.

"India" is my grateful thanks to Ravi Shankar and his country for the musical and spiritual inspiration they have given me. I tune the guitar differently to give it somewhat of a sitar effect.

The rest of the tunes speak for themselves. "Windows", "Invitation" and "Without You" include multiple tracking on which I accompany myself. "Nuages" and "A Time for Love" are two of my all time favorites. I sincerely hope you enjoy this record.

Joe Diorio"
