Acoustic guitarist Richard Gilewitz is a musician's musician. He doesn't rush his attack; he makes the most of each note.

FINGERSTYLE GUITAR AT IT'S BEST!.......2000-12-17
Richard Gilewitz's original piece called "Dirt to Dust" makes the listener feel emotionally like he is a participant in an old Clint Eastwood western. His ethereal piece, "Synapse Collapse", will transport the listener out into the stratosphere and then brings you back down to earth!
Richard Gilewitz is joined by famed percussionist, Gumbi Ortiz and pianist David Webb on several cuts. This album is definitely a must have on the Christmas list of any amateur or professional guitarist. I would highly reccomend this album.
Thanks.
