From Jazziz
Montreal born and bred guitarist Tino Izzo may be the best guitarist you've never heard of. His anonymity might be due to his lack of touring exposure. Or perhaps it's because his music crosses so many stylistic borders, from flamenco to jazz to rock. It could owe to the generic artwork on his albums throughout the 1990s. Izzo now appears to be making a push towards the mainstream. His wildly eclectic Nostalgia Trails (Chacra Music) introduces listeners to key tracks from three previous albums (two released under the pseudonym "One"), plus a few new tracks, including a crazed trip-hop flavored, densely percussive steel-guitar jam on the Beatles' normally staid "And I Love Her." The stylistic mix is apparent from the first few tracks. The crisp, Spanish-flavored plucking over pitter-patter percussion on "Bogota Nights" shows off Izzo's lovelorn side, while the sizzling, steel-string driven instrumental ballad "The New Adventures of Johnny Guitar" will bring Neal Schon's best Higher Octave work to mind. "The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe" is a simple, folksy ballad that showcases Izzo's best talent -as a composer. Sometimes Izzo's song titles are deceiving: "Samba Del Viento" seems to promise a lively Latin romp but is instead a mournful ballad with a steel guitar dripping down upon moody synth-created atmospherics.

Product Description
1 Nostaligia Trails 2 A Hero's Good-Bye 3 Worlds Away 4 A New Order 5 Four September Suns 6 The Rage 7 The Field of Blue Children 8 No Sign of Yesterday 9 Open City 10 Beyond Those Walls Here's a collection of music for the guitar-music lover, aficionado and fan: Four September Suns by guitar whiz Tino Izzo. Izzo, who records under the pseudonym One, proves himself a master not only in the playing of the guitar but also in providing a rich history of guitar music. Drifting in and out of each cut on these mostly light jazz pieces he creates music as varied as the instruments he plays: a Gibson Chet Atkins, a 1966 Fender Telecaster and an Ovation 1713 Classical. He also exhibits an able hand at bass drums and mandolin.Customer Reviews:

1: Samba del Viento 2: Ghosts Before Breakfast3: Her Song4: Blue Desires5: The Round Walls of Home6:Freedom Within7: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe8:Earth Calling9: Nighthawks10: NymphéasThroughout the '90s and into the new millennium, Tino Izzo recorded albums for Chacra Records that displayed his signature style on guitar: gentle, folk-inspired, spiritual acoustic music. Airy instrumentation supports Izzo's use of multiple guitars over the course of a single recording, creating a diverse sound that seems the work of a far greater number of players than those who actually appear on the album. Izzo's first recording of the new millennium was Nostalgia Trails, which provided a good reflection of his work from the 1990s.Pop Music:
