"Forcione's solo set piece always delivers sparkling, percussive runs, his hands flashing against the neck of the guitar while rapping a beat against the instrument's body. Guitar heroics, yes, but with a touch of class."

Charlie Haden & Antonio Forcione: Heartplay review on CDHotlist.com


05 September 2007
CDHotlist.com

Charlie Haden has the greatest musical gift a bass player can hope for: the ability to make everyone he works with sound better. Here he is paired with Italian acoustic guitarist Antonio Forcione for a contemplative and entirely gorgeous set of original compositions (plus one cover of a Fred Hersch tune). Spectacular.
