Sonny Black The Corner Seat

Virtuoso British guitarist, Sonny Black, impresses with this acoustic performance merging varied musical traditions that are the ethos of roots music. His performance credentials are impeccable, embodied in this set of instrumentals that embrace a range of musical idioms. The first track ‘Independence’ sets the scene for this collection with a seductively lyrical melody and Black’s wide interest in different styles serves up a variety of tastes from 1940s Parisienne swing jazz in ‘Minor Thing’, a smooth Latin sound in ‘Passaro Canoro’ to the final track of the album ,‘The Corner Seat’, a reflective sleepy number which is perfect to close the selection.
Delightful and precision guitar playing underpins his work whilst Sonny Black’s other strength of Inspired arrangements such as with ‘Cry Me A River’ creates sympathetic and beautiful sounds that make listening a total joy.
