    Over the course of a whole lifetime as a passionate observer and chronicler of the music scene, with a particularly keen interest in guitarists of all stripes, I have been blown away innumerable times by extraordinary players who bring something remarkable and personal to the table.

He is perhaps the only guitarist on the planet who could cut the impossible charts of Zappas Jazz From Hell and simultaneously breathe life into them... ..

    Had the chance to listen to 24 Tales today for the first time, and was shocked (especially because i remembered sitting in front of that file in best H. Simpson manner). Unbelievable. I bow down (and switch to harp).

Alex Machacek is the cream of the crop when it comes to guitarists. I have not heard anyone like him for a long time. His music and ideas gives me the same joy like I felt when I heard John McLaughlin, Allan Holdsworth, Wayne Krantz, Michael Landau or Shawn Lane. I cannot thank Shawn Lane enough for letting me know about this genius back in 2002. And the guy is only 34.. I cant imagine what he will be doing years later.
