Comment on the "Dark Tales" CD here. The music features

Dale Harris (Guitars - bass)
Jez Henderson (Drums - Percussion)
Rob Hermans (Voice)
Caroline Nemorin (Flute)



Dark Tales is an exciting and unique project that combines elements of quasi-impressionist classical, Latin-jazz infused with Nuevo-Spanish undertones, and experimental improvisations. From dreamy soundscapes to the aggressive, Spanish-classical, acoustic steel-string and electric-midi guitars, drums and percussion, composed and improvised gems infused with world and jazz sounds. The line-up consists of two English musicians: guitarist Dale Harris (better known as a concert Classical/Spanish guitarist) and Jez Henderson (drums/percussion) plus some special guests. All of the tracks introduce original compositions by Harris, Henderson and Hermans. The result is a musically satisfying and open-minded outing. Harris sounds rejuvenated and refreshed in this format, as he switches between Classical, Steel-string acoustic and an electric guitar that he often plays in combination with a midi-triggered guitar synthesizer. The result produces some luminous timbres and textures that eases the usual hard attack of the electric guitar.

The eagerly awaited collaboration between Dale Harris and Jez Henderson was released in December 2007 in MP3 download format only and is available from most on-line music stores(including itunes). DARK TALES is an exciting fusion of Classical, World-music and jazz from authered by guitarist Dale Harris and percussionist Jez Henderson. The new CD features poetic excerpts from Rob Hermans and flautist Caroline Nemorin.

On listening to "Dark Tales" it's obvious that Dale has not only a command over the electric, spanish and steel string guitar but also a good ear for inventive improvisation, with a modest contemporary sway. His playing on the album has a world feel with elements of eastern inspired hooks; a fusion of genres. Nice one Dale! 5 Stars!
