Strat Andriotis – Night Manager (Dekatria Records, 2018)
Canadian guitar virtuoso Strat Andriotis collaborates with iconic musicians from the jazz and fusion world on Night Manager. The guests are legendary violinist Jerry Goodman (Mahavishnu Orchestra), famed Cuban pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba and pianist Adrean Farrugia.
The album includes masterful and captivating electro-acoustic interactions between Andriotis’ guitars, Jerry Goodman’s violin and Rubalcaba’s piano. The music easily crosses boundaries between contemporary jazz, classical, progressive jazz-rock and Gypsy violin.
Night Manager follows Strat’s 2015 and 2017 respective releases of Liars Incorporated and Less Off Patient.
Night Manager is an impeccable example of contemporary jazz craftsmanship.
