Reviews:
"The CD is a joy"
- San Jose Mercury (CA USA)
"One of the advantages of a guitar and flute duo is its ability to make rich, complex music and still travel light. So, it’s fitting that the repertoire of guitarist Mir Ali and flutist Betsy Reeds should be so cosmopolitan. Café covers traditional rumba flamenco, new tango, choro, Irish, and Baroque chamber music among other styles. A highlight is "Jugal Bandi," a raga suite composed by Ali, on which the duo is joined by a tabla player. Ali is an exceptional nylon-string guitarist with a big, warm sound and concise yet relaxed phrasing, and the duo plays with a natural musical empathy".
