Antonio’s unique exploration of the guitar and his seemingly endless stream of ideas make him one of the most exhilarating composers and performers on the music scene today. Dedicato shows him at his very best, drawing on his many influences from Jazz to African, Classical to Brazilian moods, all weaving with ease throughout this fine collection. Antonio has shared the international stage with such greats as Barney Kessel, Birelli Lagrene, Vic Juris, Martin Taylor, John Etheridge and many more. He has toured with flamenco guitarist Edward Nieble as well as with his own bands, The Antonio Forcione Acoustic Band and the Antonio Forcione Trio, and most recently with Neil Stacey, receiving great praise as Acoustic Mania. After listening to Antonio’s earlier recordings or seeing him live the critics have certainly made up their minds… “…..Forcione plays unstringed parts (of the guitar) that other players can’t hope to reach...” The Independent “…..More than enough heart and soul to melt even the hardest disbeliever.” City Limits “…..Classical excellence and spell binding melodies…” Sounds “…..Antonio processes all the qualities of a great artist – a complete command of his instrument, a vast knowledge and respect for all musical traditions, the charisma to communicate his music to an audience and the ability to never allow the above fine qualities to get in the way of his creative processes. …………………Antonio is a virtuoso who plays from the heart.” Martin Taylor Track Listing 1.
