Not only recommended for fans of fusion guitar!

I have both of Larry Carlton as well as Robben Ford some plates from different periods (Fourplay, Yello Jackets, solo). If you like modern fusion guitar with numerous blues elements comes to these two musicians passing difficult.

My doubts before purchasing the plate:

Plays every Alphatier his boot down and bored with the listener at first certainly great runs, solos, etc. that are no longer in need of improvement, but later?

If the additional unplugged now trite and primarily old wine in new bottles?
Is it worth the purchase of the board, if one already has a lot in the archives?

Good for the plate also for supporters and fans of other instruments?

Now I have listened to the recording several times. My Conclusion:

Carlton and Ford are considered by their decades of work as a studio guitarist for other artists very excited to be co-musicians place. We play band serve.
The musicianship is evidenced not only by Improvistionstalent but by highly versed Rhytmusspiel. From the first song, the musicians play around the beats permant and land rhytmussicher for the next cycle.

The choice of the title is shared by the two, the songs of Larry Carlton go an idea more in the direction of fusion, Robben Ford's handwriting in more funky stuff. Rio Samba, an evergreen of Carlton rounds off the setlist. There are also pieces of foreign Intepreten (I put a spell on you)

After the first piece, the two musicians expand Rhytmusfraktion to a drum and a bass player who place a great carpet.

Although Robben Ford a prodigy when it comes to singing is not, after three songs pieces now come with singing using him because only the instrumental CD might at one point or another too lengthy. Also I like that.

By unplugged concept both guitarists have to do without your familiar, sing ends amplified sound. What gets offered the listeners are all facets of the acoustic guitar, whether worn or plucked with fast runs.

Technically sound: The recording is a live recording of a concert in a Parisian jazz club. The sound of a Quartets is good abgeschmischt, slightly compressed in surround sound. All musicians are properly to hear, sample the ambiance of a small, intimate concert have sound engineers well captured.

Highest score for the technical skills of the protagonists, also for the program and repertoire. The listener should already have certain inclinations for guitarists, but each song is also a blueprint on how to play together.
