This latest solo collection from Grammy-winning guitarist Laurence Juber, blends the intricate detail of his fingerstyle guitar arrangements with jazz-inspired improvisation. Recorded in one afternoon session at Hollywood s storied Capitol Studios, the repertoire is drawn from the Great American Songbook , with the bonus of a new Juber original. Downtown is a fusion of styles from both sides of the Atlantic, such as the English Folk- Baroque of John Renbourn and the solo jazz virtuosity of Joe Pass, filtered through Juber s unique guitaristic sensibility. Says LJ I ve played hundreds of sessions as a studio musician at Capitol, and recorded a number of my albums in the historic recording location set below the landmark tower at Hollywood and Vine. This intensive 5 hour session was the most focused of them all, as zing went the strings through a batch of favorite standard songs, with the legendary Al Schmitt engineering.
