“To say that Marnix Busstra is a superb guitar player from the Netherlands is only a tiny fraction of the story.”
Never assume the worst about jazz musicians. Just because you haven’t heard from them on disc frequently—no matter how much you might want to— doesn’t mean dire things.
To say that Marnix Busstra is a superb guitar player from the Netherlands is only a tiny fraction of the story. He’s a restless sort given to playing any fretboard he can get his fingers on—bouzouki and electric sitar as well as guitar on this disc. Mainieri couldn’t sound happier to be in his company, both as player and composer.
