New Sounds | May 24, 2010
Hear two living legends of the guitar playing world, John Williams and John Etheridge in a collaboration running the gamut from Bach to African folk music. Listen to tunes from their latest album Places Between, recorded live at the 2006 Dublin Guitar Festival, with music from Africa, Madagascar, South America, and Cape Verde on this edition of New Sounds. There's also music from Montreal's answer to Michael Hedges - Erik Mongrain, and the flamenco-rich fusions of Son de la Frontera, among others.
