By age 26 Aniello has already won an impressive array of international competitions. The program for his first CD is a mixture of 19th and 20th century music. Dionisio Aguado, Napoléon Coste and Francisco Tárrega are names that are probably not familiar to most listeners but are extremely well known in the guitarists' world, being considered among the most interesting and prolific composers of the 19th century. more

Leo Brouwer, who studied at the Juilliard School and at the University of Hartford, has performed in every continent in the world and has made over a hundred records. His compositions are considered classics in the guitar's repertoire. Leo has written hundreds of works for other instruments as well, including chamber works, cantatas and orchestral works and over a hundred film scores. Principal conductor of the Cordoba Symphony (Spain), artistic director of the Havana Symphony and member of the International Council of Music, Leo is in constant demand worldwide for his many talents.

John McLauglin
John McLauglin & his Mahavishnu Orchestra
Born 1942 in Yorkshire, England. Style: Jazz-Fusion

A household name since the early '70s, John McLaughlin was an innovative fusion guitarist when he led the Mahavishnu Orchestra and has continued living up to his reputation as a phenomenal and consistently inquisitive player through the years. John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra is considered by many to be the greatest Jazz-fusion group of all time. The group was formed in late 1970 and faded into the sunset in 1975. McLaughlin went on to solo work and further collaborations with Jazz trumpeter Miles Davis (1926-91) and guitarist Carlos Santana

A screaming double neck guitar, a mellow acoustical guitar, incense, and dressed in white--these are the trademarks of Mahavishnu John McLaughlin. He is considered by many to be the finest guitar player alive today. His music is spiritually generated from within, creating some of the most powerful or the most serene passages of guitar work in the jazz-rock field today. He has worked with all the great modern jazz people (Davis, Coryell, Corea, etc.) and has formed two small orchestras, attracting the best musicians of their respective fields. Mclaughlin has been so influential that his style is becoming increasingly imitated around the world.
