Quotes, Notes & Etc.
"Andrés Prado, guitarist and composer, is one of the most interesting young musicians I have come across. His playing and compositions show a great awareness of what is happening in contemporary jazz today, as well as incorporating elements of his native Perú. His music reflects in a very real way the growing trend in jazz to incorporate elements personal to the player into a new view of jazz."
