The Andreas Kapsalis & Goran Ivanovic Guitar Duo January 22, 2013

Chicago-based steel-string acoustic guitarist Andreas Kapsalis is "a player possessed of exquisite grace and touch and also, when he desires, blinding speed." Croatian native Goran 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." (Jazziz Magazine)
