Jim Campilongo & Luca Benedetti, Two Guitars
(guitar and co-producer)
GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE
"One of the many delights of Two Guitars is that you can hear the rapport of the two
guitarists unfold right before you on every track. It’s an authentic testimony, as well. You can hear bits of amp hum, fingertips dragging across string winds, and the near-psychic velocity of ideas being tossed back and forth during improvisational sections. It’s a record forged in shared aspirations, experience, respect and heart."
