Smooth Jazz Europe review of MISTICO

"More than a year ago, I reviewed a live album and dvd by artists on the Gemini Sun label. There I discovered the magical Spanish guitar of Canadian guitarist Johannes Linstead, and immediately I was hooked! You can guess that I was thrilled to discover that he recorded a new album, and that it introduced him into smooth jazz. Yes, I love the Spanish and acoustic guitar, and Earl Klugh is one of my favorites. But Johannes plays that guitar with such a fire and passion, that you’re swept away.
