This is gorgeous! Jan has an amazing touch on the guitar, he has a very distinctive vibrato (more of a violin technique than American blues style). Please enjoy! http://www.loudersound.com/news/jan-akkerman-to-release-his-first-studio-album-in-8-years?fbclid=IwAR0qJiX8JJvix-IydfmG0FiJBF91qZS9M8e-Md5mxwd_C02a1Fz0BeQsLr0" rel="nofollow - https://www.loudersound.com/news/jan-akkerman-to-release-his-first-studio-album-in-8-years?fbclid=IwAR0qJiX8JJvix-IydfmG0FiJBF91qZS9M8e-Md5mxwd_C02a1Fz0BeQsLr0 ------------- I am not a Robot, I'm a FREE MAN!! |

I agree, Moshkito, it seems to channel "Moving Waves" a bit! ------------- I am not a Robot, I'm a FREE MAN!! |

Seeing the track "Tommy" is found on Moving Waves, then this new one, "Tommy's Anniversary", definitely gives a nod to the original....in title at least.

| Fab stuff! It's interesting trying to figure out Jan's influences. There's definitely a strong jazz style in there. |

I'm excited. Different sections, changing moods, nice transitions. Jan is one of my all-time favorite guitarists. ------------- A curse upon the heads of those who seek their fortunes in a lie. The truth is always waiting when there's nothing left to try. - Colin Henson, Jade Warrior (Now) |

I haven't gotten a chance to listen to this nor have I been able to stream it yet but it sounds like it will be really good. And we have Thijis doing a Focus 11 which I have heard and is very good. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
