Steel string guitar prodigy Andreas Kapsalis and nylon string classical guitarist Goran Ivanovic fuse their musical roots with modern, classical, world, and jazz in this experimental duo.
"From a couple of prodigiously talented Chicago-based guitarists. Kapsalis, a player possessed of exquisite grace and touch and also, when he desires, blinding speed, brandishes a steel-string acoustic throughout. Croatian native Ivanovic, a widely acknowledged virtuoso in his own right, sticks with a nylon-string classical model. The music these two young men make together defies simple classification. Roughly, what I hear are Balkan folk and classical elements mixed with variously colored strains of Gypsy, jazz, pop, world and even rock styles. Whatever it is, it's heady stuff that's technically dazzling yet accessible. Kapsalis and Ivanovic are gifted composers, and they and their instruments intermingle beautifully together." —Jazziz Magazine
