Salvatore Russo & William Stravato


Salvatore Russo & William Stravato - Contact - 2004 - Axe Magazine # 90

An Italian collaboration of epic proportions - brilliant axe man William Stravato and blazing rock fusion guitarist Salvatore Russo have joined forces to bring you Russo/Stravato - "Contact". Featuring over forty minutes and eight instrumental tracks of blazingly shredded licks and tasty musical treats in the Greg Howe / Shawn Lane tradition, both guitarists have gone beyond their respective solo albums, dipping into their extensive vocabulary of expressive devices to offer hyperactive twists and turns, indulgent embellishments, undeniable energy and modern flash - all powered by the relentless rhythmic drive of drummer Daniele Chiantese. © 1996-2013 Guitar Nine All Rights Reserved http://www.guitar9.com/news2004-07.html

Very technical and demonstrative shred fusion album, full of amazing guitar wizardry. The album, by two guitar virtuosos Salvatore Russo and William Stravato was originally distributed as a very limited edition optional extra with the Italian monthly magazine for guitarists Axe (# 90, July / August 2004) and contains eight previously unreleased tracks. The CD was dedicated to the memory of Shawn Lane and is now a collector’s item. VHR by A.O.O.F.C.
