| Latin Jazz Guitarist Eric Kamen Releases Debut CD, Native Unit Eric Kamen is the sole creator of his debut CD entitled Native Unit. The twelve-track release is Kamen’s reflective culmination of independent music study. From flowing melodies to compelling sweeps, the songs on Native Unit transport the listener into a unified dimension of world, new age and R&B grooves. "My Father's Mandolin” is established by a steady hip-hop beat and rhythmic strumming of the bouzouki. Flamenco guitar leads over angelic chimes and rolling percussion on "Arenys By the Sea." The track, "Mykonos At Midnight, " was recently selected as Best Instrumental Song of the Year by The Muse’s Muse and offers contagious and melodic guitar music. In a world where the divide among cultures appears to be growing, Kamen conceptualizes the ties binding the world through the majesty of music. "Everyone is important. Everyone has something beautiful to offer, " he shares. Recently, The Muse’s Muse named Native Unit the Best Instrumental CD of the Year. Native Unit is available on February 14, 2006 write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
