Simpatico
“Much like a sly alchemist, Linsky takes a bit of jazz styling, a pinch of Latin spice, and a palm full of classical and — voila! You‘re in Chico’s Paradise.” — John Steen, Victory Review
“Acoustic guitarist Jeff Linsky offers a spellbinding set of romances on Simpatico. …Linsky breathes a passion that’s muscular, yet tender and warm.…El Perfecto!” — JazzTimes
“Linsky is joined by a talented ensemble including Weather Report veterans Alex Acuña on drums and percussion and Alphonso Johnson on bass. This rhythm section lays down compelling Brazilian grooves which lock in nicely with Linsky’s contrapuntal fingerstyle guitar.” — Paul Speidel, No Name Jazz News
1991 NAIRD Indie Award nominee for Best Contemporary Jazz Album
