But what you really want is Prevedoros’ new solo acoustic guitar CD “After Hours”. This one displays the full range of his imagination, in phrasing, chording, improvisation, counterpoint, and jazz rhythms. Often it seems that Brad is working with more than the normal complement of fingers. Most of the music is by Brad, and it swings. And it’s interesting music. Latin rhythms tend to sneak in frequently. Sometimes, it’s a progressive series of delicately shaded chords; sometimes, the music bubbles and fizzes like champagne, occasionally, a suspicion of boogie woogie. Lovely stuff, and very listenable. Patrick Brown, Island Tides
