California Guitar Trio - The First Decade flac album

The First Decade" is the CALIFORNIA GUITAR TRIO's album of collected works. Not surprising, given the title of the CD, this is a compilation album culled from the first five studio albums of CGT. Also not surprising is that there are three of them, all playing acoustic guitar: the fact that only one of them is even American (and he doesn't come from California) doesn't seem to matter too much. Bert Lams, Hiedyo Moriya and Paul Richards met in 1987 when attending one of Robert Fripp's guitar seminars, and toured as part of his League Of Crafty Guitarists before forming their own band in 1990

Now in 2003, California Guitar Trio's "First Decade" compilation commemorates 10 years since the release of their debut album "Yamanashi Blues". Included on this CD are 19 original compositions from the trio's first five albums. There is no new material included on this compilation but, it is a real treat to have tracks such as "Train To Lamy", "Yamahashi Blues", "Punta Pantri", "Pathways" and "Invitation" together on one disc

You see, during its early years, the CGT's identity was tripartite, each album and concert offering a mix of original compositions, rearranged classical tunes, and surf anthems. The First Decade presents only the originals.

This is our first studio album recorded together with the Montreal Guitar Trio. The new album, several years in the making, was recorded in a small church north of Montreal in Gore, Quebec. In A Landscape features new original music and several six guitar arrangements of music from Radiohead, John Cage and David Bowie. Paul Richards’ photography is featured in the album artwork.

The three talented members of the California Guitar Trio met in 1987 at a guitar workshop taught by Robert Fripp. Like Fripp, the CGT favors a trebly, textured sound and expresses its unity in complex but sweet fugues that fuse elements of pop, jazz, Americana, world music, and other diverse sounds. This 10-year retrospective begins with "Yamanashi Blues," (the title track from their highly acclaimed first album) in which acoustic guitars imitate kotos and mirror the relentless beauty of Mt. Fuji. Other selections display the trio's awesome technical skills.
