O’s Notes: Guitarist Sharon Isbin combines Spanish, Latin and jazz-fusion with Northern Indian classical music on Affinity. The music was written for her by several composers. Chris Brubeck’s title track is performed with the Maryland Symphony Orchestra conducted by Elizabeth Schulze. It is our favorite, in stark contrast with Richard Danielpour’s “Of Love and Longing” with pronounced vocals by Isabel Leonard.
