Introducing: Genteel

Genteel is the title of my latest recording, released March 19, 2009. The music is meant to chronicle my evolution as a performer, ranging across different genres, styles, and countries over a period of 400 years. It incorporates elements of my fingerstyle beginnings, a revisitation of an original composition, and examples of my studies as a classical guitarist. You can read more about the inception and development of the album on my dedicated blog.

Also available: Tones from an Open Heart

Tones from an Open Heart features 10 tracks, all originals written by myself, with three amazingly talented guest musicians to help me bring out the best in a few songs - Lee Holland on percussion for five tunes, and a string duo made up of Ashley Fisher on viola and Justin Saunders on cello for "Genteel".

Below you can find some quotes about the record - click |here| for the new full review database:

• There are few guitarists today that make me forget about the guitar itself, and leave me just enjoying the music. Giacomo Fiore has done that…and with apparent ease, all throughout this CD (read on...) | Larry Pattis
• Giacomo Fiore has been playing guitar since he was 8 years old. You can tell. (read on...) | indie-music.com
• I sure do hope we’ll hear lots more from Giacomo Fiore in the future. The man who brought us Tones from an Open Heart certainly deserves a long and successful career! (read on...) | Bill Binkleman @ Wind&Wire
