From a collection of unpublished duets comes this beautiful and ‘bluesy’ impromptu guitar conversation titled Boundless by Jarek Czechowicz and master guitar-maker Phil Carson-Crickmore. The two have known each other since childhood. After hearing the recording for the first time Phil said: “I didn’t know I had it in me!”. The beauty in this type of music flowers in unexpected ways. The musicians create in a state of ‘unknowing’ so the music is as new for them as it is for the audience.
