Sounds Like:
"...Wiles and chops make the guitarist what he is: an engaging improviser whose interest in entertainment is equal to his interest in art. His supple moves can keep an audience enthralled - meaning their asses wiggle and their minds jiggle. Few connect the dots between jazz and twang like this guy..." Jim Macnie
"...New York has no shortage of guitar heroes but few cover as many bases as Jim Campilongo..." "...reveals a range that extends from seductive country-swing to atmospheric jazz and well beyond..."
"...an overall killer course on How To Play Your Instrument Putting All Others To Shame. The man can jam. His instrumental compositions are practically lyrical, mixing blues with jazz with country. A real treasure..."
"...HEAVEN IS CREEPY 4 STARS OUT OF A POSSIBLE 4 STARS..."
"...Campilongo takes his (as Jim Macnie so accurately coined) "Twangadelica" stepwise into gorgeousness..."
"... Cry Me a River - an eerie instrumental filled with his rubbery twang-jazz improvisations..."
"... Campilongo keeps each composition air-tight with nary a sign of filler or fluff, and his playing continues to exhibit a brilliant musicality that relies as much on a finely tuned sense of space as it does on neck wrangling licks..."
" .... his jazz and country instincts and adventurous nature help make him one of today's really unique player...."
"...His music has echoes of Django Reinhardt, Buck Owens, Bach, Duke Ellington, the Beatles, and a panoply of folk, blues, jazz, and rock styles. Comped chords, delicate filigreed fills, long quavering sustained notes, and shimmering overtones slide together to produce a deep, moody, impressionistic sound..."
"....Multi-faceted, genre-crossing ideas expertly expressed by a trio exhibiting phenomenal chemistry throughout..."
Jim Campilongo "Heaven Is Creepy" "...Norah acquits herself well on the standard "Cry Me a River..."
".... his unrushed approach and generous tone create a comfortable, burnished grace that's distinctly all his own...."
".... Long master of the Telecaster, Jim Campilongo has a style that can be described as a cross between Chet Atkins and Thelonius Monk...."
"...the release is really a treatise on what an adventurous guitar player who merges jazz, blues, rock, and country can accomplish..."
