Philip Catherine - Guitar Two

[Durium]

PHILIP CATHERINE

It is his first solo album and that makes this album very special, as I remember Philip Catherine always playing in small groups. A few weeks after he had finished his last recordings for this album I heard him playing at the International Jazz Festival in Middelburg, May 2007 with his trio featuring Philip Aerts on bass and Mimi Verderama on drums. During this concert he played some solo pieces he had recorded for this album, using a pre-recorded guitar fragment, he had recorded on stage in the first part of the tune and replayed it as a second voice in the second half; so in fact he played a duo with himself !! A great concert ..... Last Friday, the 11th of July 2008, I heard him at the North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam .The audience liked it and were listening as quiet as a mouse, although regarding the background noise outside
