O’s Notes: Austrian guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel follows up his trio recordings with a solo effort, Etudes / Quietudes. He blends his classical training on violin with the improvisation of jazz on an acoustic guitar. These Etudes are training exercises in many different forms from triplets to vamp. But Muthspiel’s mastery makes them into appreciable music. It also traces his musical journey to jazz-fusion.
