Watch out for some breathtaking ensemble playing as this multi-guitar group struts its way through a program of challenging arrangements, including tunes and solos made famous by Charlie Christian - the guy who started it all.  Soft Winds features two of Australia's top jazz guitarists in their only recorded collaboration, backed by a superb rhythm section.

Originally released on vinyl as 'In Memory Of Charlie Christian' this CD has been acclaimed by jazz critics and guitar enthusiasts worldwide. In a world saturated with guitar sounds, this one really offers something different. If you're into jazz guitar you need 'Soft Winds' in your collection!

Hi Bruce,

As a guitar record collector surfing the net, I was very pleased to discover your web site even if I was somewhat belated. It was your name that caught my eye and linked me to Cumquat. Back in the 80s I was unable to obtain your "In Memory of Charlie Christian" LP here in the UK so gave my wife instructions for her to obtain it whilst visiting her mother in Melbourne. Somehow she actually phoned you to find where it was obtainable (Discurio) - sweet success! It is a treasured album which I have introduced to various like minded souls, including Howard Alden who was unaware of the Joe Puma composition "Last Django in Paris", despite duetting with and being a friend of the late Mr Puma.

I have subsequently obtained the same album on CD ("Soft Winds") - it is the freshness of the original compositions which make this such an outstanding recording and superb example of guitar ensemble work.
