David Andersen's Virtuoso II is a stunning display of technical mastery and musical intelligence. The album features a range of jazz compositions, from swinging standards to modern fusion pieces, all played with precision and style.
Andersen's guitar work is particularly noteworthy, with each note and chord carefully crafted to express the emotion and mood of the music. His solos are virtuosic, yet never feel showy or excessive, always serving the greater musical vision of each piece.
The album also features some excellent guest musicians, including saxophonist Bob Mintzer and drummer Peter Erskine, who add their own unique voices to the music.
