Not being a guitarist, I probably miss some of the finer points, but when it comes to empathy this duet of guitar virtuosi comes close to perfection. Their roots lie in jazz, but they cover a whole bunch of genres in the course of this double album – Latin, Middle Eastern, English pastoral and their own brand of simply music. I can hear, too, a bewildering variety of guitars, both electric and acoustic, although I couldn’t name them all. On the second disc the guitars are joined by bassist Raph Mizraki and drummer Paul Cavaciuti, which brings in a whole lot of new sounds to keep you hanging on. Oxley and Meier are currently touring Britain.
