"Caliente!-Laurel Zucker & Christopher Caliendo-World Music for Flute and Guitar is everything it advertises to be. Laurel Zucker is an amazing flutist that has made a beautiful transition to an entirely unknown realm. Known as classical musician (26 CDs on Cantilena Records), she has successfully added another feather to her cap with this successful outing of world-jazz-classical-instrumental recordings. Christopher Caliendo is one fantastic guitar player as well; he is simply masterful and as fluid as humanly possible on this recording. You can tell Caliendo has worked hard at his craft and taken the example of greats like Segovia, Reinhardt and Pass and put it to work through his style and approach. The man is also a great composer; he is the proud author of over 500 classical world music compositions! A marvelous accomplishment by anyone's standards surely. " www.zongoo.com
"I listened to this album several times and I would highly recommend the same process if you decide to add this to your collection. The use of the flute is most fascinating when combined with the classical and flamenco guitar. These are colorful and rich musical tapestries woven by two of the best musicians in the world. The cover artwork is interesting as well; the mountains behind the flamenco dancer are on fire, validating the title Caliente! Which means to warm up and the animated woman looks as though she is dancing on the stars and stripes. Viva! Zucker and Caliendo, you should hold your heads high for this marvelous musical accomplishment." dmusic.com
FOUR STAR REVIEW!
By Jim Carnes -- Sacramento Bee Arts Critic
"Sacramento flutist Laurel Zucker has raised the temperature with "Caliente!" The colorful CD reflects Zucker's apparent yen to break away from traditional music for her instrument by branching into something fresh and jazzy. Performed with Los Angeles guitarist Christopher Caliendo, also the composer of the CD's 13 pieces, "Caliente!" is passionately played and replete with complex rhythm patterns, elegant melodies and evocative couplings of the guitar and flute.
As Zucker, a member of the music faculty at California State University, Sacramento, has previously expressed, "guitar and flute are a natural combination because there are no balance issues." Indeed, no such problems arise in these varied and moody selections that show off Zucker and Caliendo's obviously well-developed technique and flexibility. The CD's title track sparkles. "Lamento" is tearful. "Amor perdido" wrenches the heart. And "Coraggio" tangoes its listener to another clime." |
