0544 Frank Evans [In An English Manner] FLAC 13(37.12)

Contributed by le porc rouge

You may have seen this at lpr's place. He was kind enough to suggest it should be posted here so here it is. Thanks to lpr. Another from Frank tomorrow.

"Frank Evans is well known to his many jazz fans but is also a very versatile musician who has written music for a number of television films. "A Pastoral Scene" was used by the BBC in their documentary "Once there was a Fisherman".
On his previous records, Frank Evans has featured as a jazz musician using an electric guitar. Here he plays a steel string acoustic guitar, a "cello guitar", an electric guitar, a normal Spanish guitar and a 12 string Spanish guitar (the combination of the 12 string and 6 string guitars gives a delightful Harpsichord effect as demonstrated in the Bach double violin concerto and the two part invention).
Ian Hobbs has played with Frank for some years and contributes varying sounds from finger cymbals to a full drum kit.
Graham Sothcott plays string bass and second guitar on two tracks. Although a newcomer to the trio he is proving to be a very versatile musician."

  4. Thanks LPR and Rodney. Another one I'd previously avoided but here is some marvellous guitar playing and quite different to what I was expecting.
