Details:
By 1995, Michael Gulezian (gu-LAY-ze-in) was already firmly established as a leading figure in the pantheon of world-class solo acoustic instrumental guitarists. Michael followed his Timbreline Music debut, "Distant Memories and Dreams," with THE DARE OF AN ANGEL. Joined by Grammy award winning violinist Charlie Bisharat, platinum-level pianist Ira Stein, the incredible Michael Manring on bass, and Ancient Future percussionist Ian Dogole, this music ventured far beyond the horizons of traditional solo guitar, creating a challenging, yet ultimately listenable sonic environment.
Perhaps his prettiest recording, THE DARE OF AN ANGEL still managed to garner rave reviews. Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine wrote, "Gulezian''s music meets and exceeds anything being offered by the ''real'' industry," and Jazz Times hailed it "... an uncommonly thoughtful and provocative work. ... the technical wizardry here is tremendous. ... sweeping story-like melodies, multi-dimensional epics, and heartland hymns. Gulezian puts forth a smart, uplifting album which is not to be missed." And in Dirty Linen Magazine, music critic Mitch Ritter wrote, "Gulezian messes with space and time in ways [French composer] Erik Satie could only dream of. ... succeeds in bringing a starry sky down to the canyon floor."
