THE METRO - 12th September 2005

Trio Gitano - Who Ate All The Tapas? *****

Three young, classically trained Birmingham guitarists are the scoffers of Who Ate All The Tapas? and Trio Gitano certainly seems to have ingested sizeable quantities of Latino tradition, with a few side orders of Romany, jazz and flamenco.   Their sound is clear, delicate and - when appropriate - witty.   They've clearly shared a musical table for more than four years and they're well-served by composer-arranger Bryan Lester, whose Latin Swing is as fine an opening number as I've heard.

But Trio Gitano are also brave enough to take on the greats: Django Reinhardt's Minor Blues gets a sultry, light-fingered treatment that would have made the master anything but blue.
