Chasing Tales
Chasing Tales (MGP Records, 2015)
Chasing Tales is an exquisite guitar album by English-guitarist Pete Oxley and Swiss guitar player Nicolas Meier. The virtuoso guitarists embark on a collection of beautifully-crafted pieces using a wide range of acoustic and electric guitars, Turkish baglama and glissentar. Stylistically, Oxley and Meier explore a rich palette of contemporary acoustic, global and jazz sounds.
Each guitarist performs an outstanding solo on every track, using various techniques and arrangements. The result is a diverse exhibition of guitar mastery. Highlights include the Metheny-esque ‘The Followers‘, ‘Tales’, ‘The Bridge’, and ‘Uzun Ince Bir Yoldayim’.
The lineup on Chasing Tales includes Pete Oxley on jazz guitar, nylon string guitar, nylon 12-string guitar, electric 12-string guitar, slide guitar, guitar synthesizer; Nicolas Meier on nylon string guitar, steel guitar, acoustic 12-string guitar, glissentar, fretless steel string guitar, fretless nylon string guitar, and baglama.
Chasing Tales is one of the most delightful guitar albums of the year.
