Kawol Samarqandi: Songs and Hymns 1



Japanese guitarist Kawol Samarqandi's solo free improvising guitar recording 'Songs and Hymns 1'available for digital download this Friday, June 18 from Ramble Records. 

Japanese free improvising guitarist Kawol Samarqandi gently picks his way through a selection of standards and spirituals on Songs and Hymns 1. Each note and space meticulously chosen and executed with great delicacy to create a canvas that speaks volumes with so few strokes.


These tender interpretations of spirituals and standards are instantly recognisable yet each track is stamped with Kawol’s gentle introspection. While similarities to Derek Bailey and Loren Mazzacane Connors can be drawn, Kawol’s mellifluous tone and phrasing belong to him.




Kawol's limited edition LP 'Silence, Notes and Structures 1' will go on pre-release sale in 4 - 6 weeks.
