reviews
“A guitarist who takes soft, seductive jazz to new levels of grace and adventure.”
—The Boston Herald
“Smile is a living definition of the word "simpatico." These two guitarists have played together on and off since the early '90s, but their interplay and mutual sense of musical space sounds like it comes from a years-long collaboration.”
—J Hunter
“Whenever people write about Gene Bertoncini’s music, the same words tend to appear: elegant, graceful, versatile. Lyrical. Master. Virtuoso.”
—All About Jazz & Jazz Near You
“A signature intricacy… He brings out the melodies as much as possible but enfolds them in capacious six-string chords and contrary-motion harmony”
—New York Times
“What could possibly be better than hearing guitarist extraordinaire Gene Bertoncini on Concerti? Simply, being ten feet away from the bandstand and viewing his quicksilver style of playing, astounding an appreciative audience.”
—Michael P. Gladstone
"This disc [Quiet Now] and the one that prececeded it (Body and Soul) are the most stunning solo guitar records ever recorded.”
—Donald Elfman
