The sound for this recording came from Stevan jamming and gigging over the years with some his closest friends: Christopher Bock, Richard Patterson, John Anttila, Enrique Ruiz de Luzuriaga, Freddy Clarke and Ray Bock, and after years of recording and performing Latin, jazz, Spanish, rock and classical music. The track selection highlights memorable jazz and pop standards yet with a twist that has not been heard before due to his virtuoso finger style. You definitely owe it to yourself to listen and purchase this one-of-a-kind CD because, well, there is no CD in the marketplace quite like this one, especially if you like acoustic guitar. According to Stevan Pasero: "I have been looking forward to arranging songs in a way that combines several of my favorite music genres (jazz, Brazilian, rhumba, pop) while utilizing specific finger style techniques (classical, flamenco, tango). It is called mashing, or at least that is what I call it. It was really fun in the studio to mash right hand techniques that I have studied through the years (rasqueado, apoyando, libre, arpeggio).

On this recording, Mr. Pasero chose to arrange songs from a variety of genres: bossa nova (Black Orpheus, How Insensitive, Dindi); jazz standards (Georgia, Unforgettable, What a Wonderful World); tango/rhumba (Besame Mucho, Boulevard of Broken Dreams); classical (Carmen, Gymnopedie); and pop (Moondance, Stairway to Heaven). Drummer John Anttila has teamed with Stevan over the years and provides a spicy, rhythmic charismatic drum style ranging from lush brush work to cadenced, poly-rhythmic rhumba beats that will surely get your foot tapping. John brings years of experience to the trio and marries with the guitar nicely. There are 3 bass players on this CD, each providing a rich baritone backdrop for the arrangements. Paul Eastburns upright work is featured on six songs and his solo intro on Moondance and Black Orpheus really stand out; Sascha Jacobsens bow work is riveting, passionate and provides an exotic tango kick to the mix; and Perry Thoorsell contributes swinging walking lines to the set. The trio is joined by guest artist, percussionist Rene Escovedo, who delivers mesmeric, pulsating conga grooves weaving effortlessly with Paseros guitar and Anttilas drums. This CD showcases the best of both worlds for guitar lovers and fans of Stevan Pasero: a memorable selection of songs framed by exhilarating, flamboyant guitar performances and unforgettable trio arrangements. You can play this CD when entertaining friends, driving in your car, under your headphones, or when you want to get a good dose of brilliant guitar playing.
