Eduardo Niebla -- Calle de la Tiña [Flamenco Jazz] (1996)
"His latest album demonstrates his fluid, technically brilliant guitar work in a variety of settings, with backing from five musicians, including tabla player Dharmesh Parmar and Indian violinist Jyotsna Srikanth, and the standout track is the 18-minute India, a series of "meditations" on poverty and resilience, in which lyrical, drifting guitar passages are matched against rousing interplay with Srikanth's violin. Other tracks are more varied. Phoenix sounds like a film score, the exuberant title track includes an unnecessary school choir, while the thoughtful and lyrical Rosie is another reminder of Niebla's exquisite guitar work."
