Jimmy Ryan - The Healing Guitar

Easygoing, Delicate Guitar by Jimmy Ryan

Jimmy Ryan – The Healing Guitar (Salvatori Productions, 2022)

Acclaimed guitarist Jimmy Ryan presents a different side of his work as a composer and guitarist. Although he is known as a skilled fusion guitarist (he co-founded jazz-rock fusion band The Flyin’ Ryan Brothers), on “The Healing Guitar” he takes the listener on a laid back, calm, melodic guitar journey.

The first four tracks are instrumentals, where Ryan and his collaborator, drummer and percussionist Dan van Schindel deliver delightful pieces that highlight the melodic nature of the electric guitar.

Track 5 is a 28:33-minute suite that transforms the first four tracks into a single piece by weaving the four pieces and a fifth track titled “Continuum” together with sounds of inland songbirds and seabirds, ocean surf and other natural sounds that are meant to have a calming effect and, indeed, they do.
