Critically acclaimed guitarists Richard Smith (Los Angeles) and Francesco Buzzurro (Italy) have teamed up for a new instrumental album titled "Heart Of The Emigrants." It features both musicians stepping out of their boundaries to record some famous songs like "Mambo Italiano," "Amazing Grace" and The Beatles' "Day Tripper." The duo mix together the gentle sounds of "Film Suite" and "Intimato" with more up-tempo, jazz-like pieces as in "Amor" and "Taranta Funk." The beauty of their collaboration is felt in the stunning 'Tango, Fire and Sea."

From
Chicago comes the latest release titled "Flesh And Bone" from the
multi-talented musician Dan Rico. His new 3-song EP begins with the
garage rock, guitar buzz of the title song "Flesh And Bone." The
flip-side features a more classic pop/rock vibe with "Gold Volvo," before
finishing up with the digital only single "Any Way You Want Me" as Dan
slows the tempo down for this alternative pop number. To find out more

From Los Angeles comes the new album from freelance musician Jim Self
and his collaboration with jazz guitarist John Chiodini. Their new album
titled "Floating In Winter," features 15-tracks of covers and
originals. Self has performed on over 1,500 motion picture soundtracks,
including "Jurassic Park" and "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind." Self
is a low-brass player, primary the tuba and he works beautifully with
Chiodini's guitar to create some relaxed themes, beginning with "Nobody
Else But Me." The duo dance their instruments around the "So Danco
Samba," before swinging to the groove of "News From Blueport." They gently float along the Henry Mancini original "A Slow Hot Wind," then
take on Thelonius Monk's "In Walking Bud" as the two lock into a smooth
jazz groove. They revisit Monk's work again with "Blue Monk" and even
Mancini shows up again with "Two For The Road," before they finish the
album with the laid-back vibe of Gerry Mulligan's "Festive Minor." To

Duo, please visit bassethoundmusic.com.
