Americana
“Larry Koonse’s new CD Americana is fantastic . . . His motivic approach to improvisation is reflected in each tune. Koonse is a master of this style of motivically developing ideas in connection with his own solo and the tune itself.

“Larry Koonse and I have reached a level of trust and musicality that we can “get lost” in the form, follow our instincts of the moment and create some unearthly dialogue . . . ain’t heard a guitar player to touch him since the last wave of the 70s”
