Acoustic Alchemy are one of the founding fathers of Smooth Jazz. From their very first album, Red Dust and Spanish Lace released in 1987, to the current release Thirty Three and a Third, they have spent over thirty years defining and refining the sound of instrumental Jazz with hits such as “Mr. Chow”, “Lazeez”, “Flamoco Loco”, “Catalina Kiss” and “Jamaica Heartbeat”.
For more than three decades, the band has been at the forefront of contemporary jazz, even if its signature eclectic mix of styles has meant that the group never fit snugly into one genre. “We just make music we like. At the core, it’s always been a simple concept: the sound of the nylon and steel guitars working together. That leaves a lot of scope for exploring all sorts of musical ideas.” ~ Greg Carmichael, co-founding member of the band.
Not only critically acclaimed for their albums (including three Grammy nominations) they have also built a reputation for being one of the most exciting live bands in the business. Their shows are a perfect combination of virtuosity, musicality and fun for the fans, featuring a dazzling array of musical genres but all the time keeping their signature acoustic guitar sound to the fore.
