Eric Minen - Milodies Urbaines

Eric Minen is a self-taught French guitar player from Annecy (Savoy region). Involved within various jazz, song-oriented or jazz-rock fusion bands, among which Anamorphose and Le Bocal (A famous Frank ZAPPA tribute band), he presents today his first solo album, "Melodies Urbaines", released in 2007 on the Dreaming label. In Jean- Pascal Boffo or Pat Metheny's way, Eric Minen plays a limpid and peaceful instrumental music, ten compositions entirely based on the wide palette of guitar sounds. Moreover, some titles provide the Arabic colors of the oud. Occasional programming might account for a mechanical and cold aspect, but this is not sensible. So here is a magnificent opus, a real invitation to calm and meditation. Just relax and enjoy!
