Album lore

The Colour of Sound, issued in 2005 on Acoustic Music, gathers guitarists David Becker and Joe Diorio in a duet setting that privileges subtle interplay and harmonic nuance. Across twelve tracks, the pair navigate standards and originals with a measured touch, exemplified by their rendition of "All the Things You Are," where clean tones and intricate fingerwork reveal their shared jazz guitar lineage.Recorded for an audience attuned to the acoustic guitar’s expressive range, this album stands as an artifact of mid-2000s jazz guitar collaboration. The sparseness of instrumentation draws attention to Becker’s and Diorio’s phrasing and dynamic control, inviting close listening without recourse to amplification or effects. Though modest in digital footprint, The Colour of Sound offers a refined example of guitar dialogue within the jazz idiom.
