Noël Akchoté - Adult Guitar
Review by Neier Jean-Luc
Noël Akchoté has released his latest album, Adult Guitar, which showcases his immense talent as a guitarist. The album features a collection of original compositions and covers that demonstrate Akchoté's ability to create intricate melodies and harmonies on the guitar.
The album's opening track, "Autumn Leaves," is a stunning rendition of the classic jazz standard. Akchoté's fingerpicking technique is impeccable, and his interpretation of the melody is both inventive and emotional. The album also features several original compositions, such as "Slowly, Surely," which showcases Akchoté's ability to create beautiful, contemplative music.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "All the Things You Are," a Jerome Kern classic. Akchoté's take on the song is both fresh and faithful to the original, and his use of harmonics and fingerpicking adds an ethereal quality to the piece.
