REVIEWS:
Charlie Haden/Antonio Forcione- Heartplay
'...Forcione's tone-poem Snow is Frisell-like, and Haden's solo on his own silence confirms how much he's always been able to express without hurrying. It's well up with the leaders in Haden's illustrious collection of duo encounters.'
**** The Guardian (Nov 06)
CHARLIE HADEN & ANTONIO FORCIONE - HEARTPLAY
'The recording process has produced a ravishingly beautiful sound in which both Forcione's guitar and Haden's double bass shimmer gloriously in a rich, real-life acoustic representation.'
Scotsman.com
Charlie Haden & Antonio Forcione - Heartplay
'...It's everything a duet should be -- the expression of a perfect unity.' (Duncan Heining)
Jazz Wise
Charlie Haden & Antonio Forcione - Heartplay
'...Haden is a jazz hero from way back, but Forcione is still not as well known as he deserves to be. His distinctive combination of jazz with Spanish and other European influences is always full of surprises.' ( Dave Gelly )

Haden's sound just drips huge quantities of honey with every note. To all jazz musicians, sound and meaning what you do are the essentials. Before all your 32nd note licks, and playing giant steps at a gazillion notes a minute, get a sound and learn to mean what you play. (And yes.. I could use the lesson with every gig I play!)
