Roger Wang: Press

"..... always very tasteful and inspiring. His is the sort of talent that will appeal to layman listeners as much as it will to hardened guitar aficionados."

Brilliant! The sun shines on traditional music as Roger Wang transforms 12 dry and dreary standards into catchy, bright and breezy delights and makes them immediately accessible to a new generation.

Every time we hear from Roger Wang, he ends up mesmerizing us anew. One of the very best jazz-inflected guitarists playing today, his solo album and duo outing with singer Mia Palencia, plus a Christmas album the two of them did last year, have left our ears tingling.

The sounds of Roger Wang have always been and will always continue to be a listening pleasure.

Roger Wang is a jazz guitar virtuoso, amazing technique, fiery improvisations and a keen sense of the melody.

Wang has a Sinatraesque ability to use space every bit as much as his notes to shape a song. Whether accompanying Palencia or playing solo on his "Journey Home" album, his playing is consistently of the highest order.

Strumming and picking, moving instantaneously from chords to five-finger picking, Wang is one with his guitar – a single entity creating sounds of pure magic.

On stage with just his guitar, Roger Wang is cool. He’s good, he knows it and – what really comes across- he loves playing for you.

Impeccable techniques, imaginative and bold arrangement, the virtuoso in Wang cooks up a tasteful and eclectic mix of familiar tunes improvised to varying degrees to suit his already familiar fingerstyle guitar-playing...... Great melody & smart pop sensibility, Journey Home is the kind of album that even your dad or mum or girlfriend can enjoy.
