[1989] Guitar Workshop In Hawaii / Pacific Coast Jam (Full Album)

A great West Coast style, guitar-led fusion gem from the late 80s, that I have enjoyed for many years, featuring both Japanese and American performers including Kenji Sano and D.J. Pratt from the band Kalapana. My favorite track from this CD is "Samba Nueva", which Thom Rotella recorded as "Carnaval" on his Without Words album in 1990, by the way! Tracklist: 1.
