KEVIN KASTNING & CARL CLEMENTS - PARTITAS, BOOK 1

• Kevin Kastning & Carl Clements: Partitas, Book 1
      (2024, cd, UK, greydisc)

Master (and designer) of multi-string guitars, Kevin Kasting, has collaborated with different musicians over the years.
On his latest album, "Partitas, Book 1", Kevin is joined by Carl Clements, an artist with whom he has been working for quite some years. Carl already participated on the eponymous 1988 jazz album "The Kevin Kastning Unit".

"Partitas, Book 1" presents music from a different world. It's contemporary classical guitar music interwoven with beautiful saxophone jazz lines.
It goes together extremely well, creating beautiful soundscapes and atmospheres.

The album is being released on the Greydisc Records label next week.
