BRIO is a collaboration between multi-instrumentalist Chris Spheeris and guitarist Anthony Mazzella. The two performers have a fantastic interplay that leads to warm Spanish/Mediterranean flamenco guitar rhythms garnished with influences that range from Middle Eastern to jazz. The opening tracks, "Dia del Sol" and "Brio," introduce listeners to the duo's fiery fretwork and amazing technique. The remainder of the album sways between smooth romantic ballads and mid-tempo dance pieces like "Toward the Light," "The Afterglow" and "Trance Fusion." You can't go wrong with an album of sizzling grooves like this.
