#1858: Program #1858
From the New Sounds Live New York Guitar Festival series, it's a tribute to Michael Hedges (1953-1997). One of the most innovative and acclaimed solo guitarists of his era, self-described "violent acoustic" artist rose to success on the strength of a unique performing style which utilized harmonics and picking to create the impression of multiple guitars playing simultaneously. Those joining in the tribute include fellow Windham Hill artists George Winston and Michael Manring, and French guitarist Pierre Bensusan.
