Randy Napoleon- Waking Dream (CD)
Randy Napoleon- Waking Dream (CD)

Surrounded by the brilliant musical family who have centered his band for years - bassist Rodney Whitaker, pianist Rick Roe and drummer Quincy Davis - guitarist Randy Napoleon calls back four of his fleet-fingered, virtuoso former guitar students to share the stage and build up something new for this ambitious album, his 10th as a leader. Centered on compositions from the prolific Gregg Hill, along with several of his own, he arranged each for this 5-guitar choir of musicians, all connected through years of Napoleon's mentorship, each fully evolved in their own artistry. Whether adding other-worldly harmonic density, lush string-like backgrounds, subtle counter melodies or cascading rhythmic intrigue, "Waking Dream" comes across as a one-of-a-kind sonic experience, while still in the mainstream of modern jazz recordings. "... one of the more admired guitarists today... a superb musician, much sought-after for his idiomatic interpretations." RAUL DA GAMA"... one of the truly premier players on his instrument anywhere. His dexterity, fluid ideas and command of a tricky instrument must be recognized as top drawer." Jazz Guitar Today
