For the first time in a recording history that dates back to 1983,
Swedish guitarist Ulf Wakenius has decided to go it alone with an
album of a cappella acoustic guitar performances. Like his earlier
recordings, he has a number of dedications to jazz guitarists,
present and bygone, who he admires and to whom he feels he owes a
part of his own artistry. Thus, there is a three-tune medley entitled
"Barney Goes to Brazil," which notes Barney Kessel's guitar
performances of three Brazilian masterpieces. Switching gears, or
perhaps chords, he tips his axe to Joe Pass with "Li'l Darlin'" and
then really reaches with "Cherokee," devoted to country picker Hank
Garland. But this is no copycat album by any means. Wakenius has
built up such a body of work over the years that he need not rely on
emulating anyone to get attention. This album further demonstrates
his impeccable, tasteful, and often subtle technique. A small note
insertion here, a slight inflection there, alterations of voicings
along the way ù all contribute to this guitar player's incredibly
good sound. He can move from a rhythmically charged, up-tempo piece
such as "Sweet Georgia Brown" to sweet and sentimental ù but not
saccharine and maudlin ù renditions of classic ballads such as "When
You Wish Upon a Star" or "On Green Dolphin Street" to a bluesy "Blues
of O. P.," dedicated to Oscar Peterson, whose quartet he is a member
of. When confronted with an album whose title announces it "the
artistry of," listeners are all too often likely to find that such
terminology is somewhat self serving. This is not the case here.
Wakenius is an artist who deserves greater attention as an overlord
of the instrument.
