This is lite jazz, for those migraine nights when lights are low and nothing else seems to ease the pain. Less fancy guitar work and more smooth arrangements go into this 58 minute cd.

Tomas Michaud - Flamenco guitar
Obie Butterworth - Flamenco guitar
Don Turney - keys
Phil Thompson - drums
David Margen - bass
Brian Rice - percussion
Wayne Ledbetter - saxes

These are the people who make this brightly fresh, mostly acoustic album radiate with love and relaxation. Don't let the Flamenco in the title fool you. You're in for a soft ride through forests of flowers, not a break-neck rumba ride. May all guitar albums help headaches this much.
