One can only summize Liebert's techniques as expressive and yes, universal...none of this guess work of who is playing this fantastic mood swing setting, from the very first chords, you're hooked...you're enrolled immediately to the "Ottmar Liebert Fan Club", and you want more of the same.
Justification can only be the term used for the title and the opening track of this outstanding "Best Of" collection, ~ "BARCELONA NIGHTS", played over and over everyday on the easy listening, smooth jazz and classical radio stations...distinctive style is immediately recognizable...a mix of blues, classical, soul and of course flamenco...highly acceptable in all parts of the continent and world.

But several highlights come to mind ~ "SANTA FE"..."DANCING UNDER THE MOON"...but my personal favorite hands down is ~ "AUGUST MOON", passion flows like red wine, only to leave you completely mesmirized by haunting refrains, gets under your skin and stays there for days, trust me!

You might try other Ottmar Liebert (Higher Octave) releases, all worthy of a good listen ~ "Nouveau Flamenco"..."Surrender 2 Love:Best of Ottmar Liebert Vol. 2"..."Poets & Angels:Music 4 the Holidays"(great Christmas album)...please check out my reviews on amazon.com - music.
