Esteban de Sanlucar has an album? I love his stuff. In fact I just bought a book of some of his pieces and an accompanying CD from a guy with so-so abilities. Shroomy, check out Almoraima, too. That is my fav. Paco album and is damned good. Ricardo, you don't dig the Zapateado from Duende? It's kind of "pirate movie soundtrack" sounding but I love it! There is a solo version of him playing it on Youtube. Percusion Flamenca I mean. Esteban Sanlucar's short play recording is available, as I and others mentioned, on "Maestros de la guitarra flamenca" vol 3 and 4. It is split up, 4 pieces on each CD. Amazing clean and rhythmic player for his day. He did the machine gun 4 note per beat rasgueado everyone seems to think is a "modern" technique. Planet records, as mentioned. And I love the whole Duende disc, I am just sick of defending against aficionado's lack of ability to enjoy an album that has more than just a guitar. So I put the disclaimer and said it is worth to buy just for the 5 pieces I mentioned. But yeah the Zapateado is great. One record reviewer hated this version and praised the live Teatro Real version, saying he played more traditional, or more rhythmic, or something stupid like that, even though it was note for note the same, just no chamber ensemble. But I am starting to get tired of this politically correct explaining stuff. From now on I will say how I feel. "Duende Flamenco is good. If you dont' like it, you don't understand flamenco guitar". There simple. Ooops, I mean "IMO". Nino Ricardo played with a dirty sound, but had really cool ideas and arpeggios and things. Some recordings I have are not the best fidelity either. But very important for study. Faucher has a good book on him too I recommend. Ricardo
