I anticipated catching hell for my opinion of Vicente earlier in this thread, Ricardo, but there it is. seems like you wanted to catch hell. you were ignored the first time around with this quote:
I agree, Lenny. I know I will catch hell for this, but Vicente's playing is pretty anodyne, in my opinion. Not much to get excited about. then went for more with this.... quote:
Vicente Amigo is neither up to the standards of the past greats--Sabicas, Paco de Lucia, et.al,--nor the current up and comers like Antonio Rey. Vicente Amigo is an anodyne guitarist who is competent, but not great. His playing is the flamenco equivalent of elevator music. It seems perhaps youve only listen to a couple of his recent albums?? While I definitely enjoy his early stuff more I think he's a true artist. Just like paco and gerardo etc he didnt just churn out flamenco album after flamenco album he explored other music and instruments and sounds. he's changing and expressing himself in different ways all the time. as he grows so does his art, this is the true measure of a great musician. reinvention. growth. reaching new people all the time. anodyne?!?! Jesus christ guy! listen to De mi Corazon al Aire and remember that was recorded in 1991 when he was 24!!!
