简介
Liner-notes by Patricia Ramos, Promotora Albalaz, Mexico City, 2016. On the 25th of September 2015 the World Jazz Guitarist David MacGregor and Acoustic Virtuoso Guitarist and Bassist Si Hayden performed together for the first time. The venue was the HinckleyACT in Leicestershire, England, which is well known for presenting some of the best acoustic musicians in the world. So how did this show come about? Well... Many years before Facebook and Twitter existed it was very common for musicians to have pages on MySpace. In 2008 David was just starting to discover the world of Solo Jazz Guitar and whilst searching MySpace for other Solo Finger-Style Guitarists he discovered Si Hayden. He was really impressed by Si’s playing and decided to contact Si and ask for advise on having a career as a solo musician . Si got right back giving David some great advice and encouragement and they have stayed in touch ever since. A few years later David was booked to play in Si's hometown for the 2013 Coventry Jazz Festival. Si (also on the bill that year) came along to David’s performance. After years of keeping in touch they finally got a chance to meet in person and talk about working together. They decided the easiest way to get things started was to perform a concert together and then a little later, Si thought it would be a great idea to record the concert and release it as a Live Album. This however is just the beginning. Si and David are in the early stages of putting together a duet album of original music, working remotely, as David lives in Mexico and Si in England…
