released 20 February 2002
Daniel Fries is one of the premier flamenco guitarists in the San Francisco Bay Area, both as an accompanist for flamenco song and dance, and as a soloist. While his playing style remains grounded in the roots of the traditional Spanish flamenco, he also explores new directions in musical composition as well as blending of elements from the various musical traditions around which he grew up in San Francisco; Indian, Middle Eastern, Latin American, and African. Over the last decade he has developed a distinctive blend of flamenco technique and harmonies with Persian and Afghan music, which he applied in his collaboration with Hamed Nikpay, the "All is Calm" album. While he has studied with many great masters and institutions, he credits his greatest learning to sitting alone with his instrument away from the world.
