REVIEWS:
"Az Samad is fast developing a unique and spell-binding solo guitar style, rooted in a love of melody and sophisticated harmonic language. His first solo electric guitar album “The Amsterdam Recordings” has, for me, echoes of Pat Metheny’s more recent solo output, with the added attraction that it is all improvised. There is a gorgeous contemplative feel to the recordings, with Love is a Scooter (great title) being a stand-out track. A great album, and I hope the first of many!"
-Dylan Kay, Professional Guitarist & Educator, Auckland, New Zealand
All tracks are solo electric fingerstyle guitar improvisations.
Recorded 04 July 2012 in Amsterdam, Netherlands
