The International Collection
Music has always been called the Universal language. With that in mind, I felt it would be interesting to explore the many and diverse musical cultures that the world has to offer. First, I chose twelve countries that had interesting musical characteristics. Then, I researched that material for authentic instruments, form, tempo, feel, embellishments, melodic and harmonic content. Having gathered my sounds together, I composed, arranged and assembled the songs into The International Collection.

Kaleidophon
Traditionally, the concert classical guitar has been a nylon string, acoustic instrument played with the fingers. My concept of concert style guitar centers around a steel stringed, amplified guitar played with a pick.
Dedicated to the art of the solo guitar, Kaleidophon explores a diverse range of repertoire. This material was gathered from the following sources:
Transcriptions of Classical Works, Variations on Folk Themes and Original Works.

Midnight at the Jazz Cafe - The Curt Sheller Trio
This is not a CD that attempts to assault the listener with ego or insistent playing. Rather, it is an album that clearly realizes the beauty of the melodies of each tune played. Tunes like “There Will Never be Another You”, “Black Orpheus”, “My Favorite Things”, “Milestones”, “Autumn Leaves”, “So What”, “Cute” and other standards, are performed with deference to the musical statements that can be found within the harmonic and melodic content of each tune, as are the two original tunes written by Sheller: “Kelle Belle” and “Midnight Café”. In other words, there is some nice playing going on here.
Sheller’s single line playing is smooth and straightforward with an effortless quality that can only be portrayed by someone who has been playing and listening for some time. And his chordal work is skillful with fat sounding voicings that work very well in this trio setting. Just check out the gorgeous chordal arrangement Sheller comes up with on the original tune “Woman Child” (written by producer Chuck Anderson). Very nice indeed.
The remaining members, Daoud Shaw on drums and Steve Beskrone on electric bass, complement Sheller’s playing by providing a strong rhythmic foundation for Sheller to play off of. However, Beskrone gets off some nice solos on a few tunes showing that he can grab the spotlight when need be.
Overall, this is a very nice CD to have in your collection and I look forward to hopefully more Midnight visits to the Jazz Cafe. ( review from JazzGuitarLife.com )
