He sounds confused, the melodies seem to be just sudden bursts of notes that dont have a flow to it, I wouldnt even call it jazzy because they seem to go nowhere.

I used to feel the same way of his style vs say Vicente Nuñez Sanlucar etc, but over time I realized his way to compose is with very concise and effective falsetas that don't necessarily need to be stitched together in any special way as they function perfect for context of cante accompaniment, taken on their own. But put together randomly they don't make compositional sense, and are not supposed to. Nuñez for example has very involved sections of music that just won't work in context of cante (unless modified and elements sacrificed), but vast majority of tomatito's music is that way. For that reason there will be different tastes on the issue of flamenco guitar solo styles and that is normal.

Iam not saying that he does this all the time but thats what my ear captures most of the times he does some modern/jazzy stuff. Its like if he was just filling each chord with some notes which seems to be the opposite of what VA did on his new record, every note serves a melodic purpose there, even in fast passages.

Well he sent me a PM on facebook that he liked my version of Ardila the best.

But even more awesome is what he did with El Pele on "La Fuente de lo Jondo", his playing sounds totally different from his solo albuns.
