A guitarist based in Paris aided by top talent, playing a mix of electric jazz-rock/funk and more delicate acoustic jazz. I've no idea of the background of Raymond Winter, although his guitar playing is of that polite American type of style, where people like Larry Coryell went later. The backing band are stellar talent: Francis Lockwood (electric piano), Sylvain Marc (bass), Jean My Truong (drums, percussion), all known for lots of great music before this. But, remember, this is post Surya so it's geared to the funk type music, more than the typically French Ponty/Zeuhl hybrids we know. For those that like it smooth and noodly with a bit of that Stanley Clarke type feel, this may well surprise..
