Antoine Dufour

I mentioned yesterday that my birthday was this past Sunday. One of the gifts I was lucky enough to get was Antoine Dufour’s Existince album.  I’m sure at some point during the life of this blog I’ll talk about my love of Andy McKee, another great acoustic guitar player, but that’s how I came across Antoine.

The first few times I listend to Antoine’s stuff, I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. It felt “choppy” to me, but I kept listening and listening and I’ve come to find that I really love this guy’s music. He blends that peaceful acoustic feel with what I’d call hints of jazz and that makes him stand out in the world acoustic guitar playing.

What do you guys think? Quick fingers, huh?
