So excited to share "On The Road To Windham" by Jim "Kimo" West and David Vito Gregoli has dropped and this time it's personal. It's the 2nd single from our album "Kimo Vito" and "On The Road To Windham" is a tribute to all the wonderful and inspiring artists from Windham Hill records. Years ago I was messing around with one of the Alex De Grassi tunings and came up with the basics of this tune. When Jim and I started working on the album, I thought it'd be perfect for us to collaborate on...and in the process use it's tonal familiarity to pay homage to those giants who came before us. There's bits of #alexdegrassi, #mikemarshall, #michaelmanring, some #willackerman influences and a touch of #michaelHedges here and there. I hope you enjoy the tip of the hat to those amazing artists.

In my quest to only collaborate with artists who are named "Jim", my next single is coming out on June 4th with the amazing #JimGelcer from Toronto. It's a really lovely #newage/#ambient piece called "Forgiveness". It's the debut single from our upcoming album #QuietExpanse. 🙏🏻✨😌

Wow, what a lovely review of "Fragile (2024)" by Jonathan Widran. Thanks so much for you kinds words. 🙏🏻✨😌 Some highlights: "the most intoxicating pure acoustic interpretation yet... masterful and intuitive string rapport... Though the arrangement feels like finely woven tapestry of strings and accompanying sonics, Gregoli and West make it feel like an effortless jam session between good friends who can read each other’s musical minds. With so many versions of “Fragile” over the past 37 years, it’s an amazing feat to create one that feels as essential as this one. Hopefully, this is just the first of many duet endeavors from these masterful artists!"

Last friday my single with the illustrious Jim "Kimo" West - Fragile (2024) dropped and the response has been everything one would wish for. A unique take on Sting's classic tune, a mix of fingerstyle/slack key from Jim and classical/flamenco from me. Too much fun indeed! "...a richly textured and unique pairing between two accomplished guitarists and musicians who are unafraid to experiment with the blending of genres and musical influences." Streaming everywhere. #fingerstyleguitar #contemporaryinstrumentalmusic #acousticguitar #Sting
