Editorial Reviews
Jorge Morel, Guitarist
"Adam Tully has the technique and musicality to play traditional and popular arrangements for the instrument with great feeling."

Nilda de Urquiza, Mundo Guitarrístico
"I would point out his versatility and commendable performance of works that are as diverse as they are aesthetically involved."

Album Description
NEW!!! Adam Tully's latest release contains 17 tracks and 67 minutes of guitar music recorded in New York and in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2000 and 2001.

While some of pieces come from the traditional guitar repertoire (Bach, Albéniz, Villa-Lobos), many of them have not been heard outside of Latin America. Most of the Latin guitar solos come from the Tango and Folk traditions of Argentina and include arrangements by Anibal Arias, Jorge Morel, and Eduardo Falú. The Latin songs were recorded with local New York singers Abraham Rodríguez and Eduardo Parra; Tully sings lead on his own arrangement of "Entre a mi pago sin Golpear." The songs reflect a New York perspective on Latin American music: Afro-Cuban mixed with Nuyorican and Doo-wop; Argentinean folk redone with modern harmonies and different instrumentation.

Tully's selection is pretty diverse this time around: from Bach and Brahms to Latin songs, a flamenco solo, and even an original arrangement of the Jazz standard "I thought about you." Such contrasting choices are what prompted critic Nilda Urquiza (Mundo Guitarrístico) to recognize Tully's "versatility and commendable performance of works that are as diverse as they are aesthetically involved."

5 out of 5 stars The Best of Both!.......2002-02-25

I love it! This album combines the best of classical with the best of Spanish and Latin guitar - a great combination!

If you've never heard Brahms on acoustic guitar, you're in for a real treat. What's surprising and wonderful is the way Bach and Brahms inform the tangos, flamenco and even a lovely arrangement of "I Thought About You." This is a generous hour or so of very engaging music performed with flair, passion, sensitivity. It's at the top of my stack and getting lots of wear.
