  Life Goes On
On Neil's  latest solo release  ( Feb  2007 on the Invisible Music jazz label) Lamb juxtaposes some  lovely arrangements of familiar jazz standards with his own compositions.  (He debuts as a jazz vocalist here) His tunes are honest, mature and  anyone who has been in a relationship for more than five minutes  will connect with them. The music of Life Goes On is jazz  with a singer-song writer vibe, and a pop sensibility because Neil Lamb  wants to reach people.  For him connecting with an audience through  the shared enjoyment of sounds and emotions is more fun and more  important than showing how clever he can be at playing the guitar. He is a romantic (in the classical sense) preferring music that  is often pretty with clear singing melodies, and his lyrics distill  a relationship down to it's essence with a few carefully crafted  phrases.

New Tunes
New Tunes for Jazz Guitar

On New Tunes for Jazz Guitar (IM-2019), released on the Invisible Music jazz label, guitarist Neil Lamb demonstrates his skills as a composer as he leads the listener through a program that includes well crafted solo pieces all recorded with out overdubs, an aching duet "Longing" where he performs both parts, and some ensemble pieces that provided him an opportunity to bring together a few of his musical friends to explore the art of spontaneous composition. Neil Lamb has created a CD with a broad range of original Jazz guitar pieces-everything from the traditional sound of, "Family Portrait Suite" to the experimental "Restless Gentlemen". While stylistically diverse, the unifying element throughout this and all of Lamb's work is the strong melodic element, the "tunes". They are present in the heads, in the solos, and even in the chordal accompaniment. The result is a fascinating journey into the mind of this inventive guitarist.




Live

Neil Lamb's fifth CD Live at the Down-East Restaurant (IM-2028), released on the Invisible Music jazz label, was recorded at the Down-East Restaurant in Yarmouth, Maine where Neil has a standing Thursday night gig.

On this CD Lamb has successfully married his three loves: playing solo jazz guitar, tunes from the Great American Songbook, and creating the perfect ambience. Using a seven-string guitar with an extra low A string that allows him extended range in the lower register, he creates a wonderfully intimate mello sound perfect for drawing the listener in and for setting a mood that is sophisticated and romantic. The music ranges from the classic Tea for Two, funky versions of So What and Mercy, Mercy, Mercy, to the lullabyesque rendition of Live at the Down-East Restaurant (IM-2028), released on the Invisible Music jazz label, was recorded at the Down-East Restaurant in Yarmouth, Maine.
