Listen to Guitar America 250<\/a><\/p>\n

The always impressive guitarist, Aaron Larget-Caplan, celebrates 250 years of America with these primarily solo pieces that span traditionals as well as covers by artists as diverse as Paul Simon and Eddie Van Halen.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018America\u2019 From West Side Story\u201d opens with Larget-Caplan\u2019s playful and intricate guitar that draws us in immediately, and it isn\u2019t long until \u201cAmerica, The Beautiful\u201d radiates much emotion and warmth.<\/p>\n

Further along, Irina Muresanu\u2019s stirring violin complements the sophisticated guitar across the intimate \u201cAdoration”, while \u201cMidnight Train\u201d is strong on mood thanks to the meticulous guitar and bare moments.<\/p>\n

Deeper still, \u201cMystic Flute, Op. 22\u201d, the album\u2019s best, showcases Larget-Caplan\u2019s expressive and distinct playing, and on the last track, \u201cBill Of Rights, Amended\u201d, he handles spoken word that\u2019s a good reminder of what our actual rights are and will hopefully always be.<\/p>\n

An effort that explores the ideals, contradictions, reinventions and dreams of the nation, other spoken word pieces by Charles Coe, Jeffrey Lependorf and Trevor Neal provide further insight into the artistry of this eloquent commemoration.<\/p>\n

Travels well with: Aaron Larget-Caplan<\/strong>– Spanish Gems<\/em><\/a>; Aaron Larget-Caplan<\/strong>– Spanish Candy<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n
