 | | Lesser musicians adhere righteously to the lines separating tradition from innovation, soloist from accompanist - but the duo of multi-instrumentalist John Williams and guitarist Dean Magraw interact so effortlessly, and draw from such a wide range of traditions and techniques, that existing borders cease to be relevant. |
 | | John Williams and Dean Magraw step out on this album as composers, arrangers, and improvisers of their own works as well as interpreters of classic pieces from La Bottine Souriante, Frankie Gavin, early Solas, and the thriller Road to Perdition. |
 | | John was born in Chicago in 1967 and his playing has absorbed all the heart and vitality of Clare, together with Irish American influences like Johnny McGreevy, Seamus Cooley, Liz Carroll, and Joe Shannon. |
