In developing the pieces of Lagq BRAZIL, the quartet collaborated with some of the top names in the Brazilian guitar scene, many of whom are close friends of the four guitarists. This album marks the Lagq debut of guitarist Matthew Greif, who replaces long-time member Andrew York and joins remaining members Bill Kanengiser, John Dearman and Scott Tennant. In addition to being an accomplished and award-winning classical guitarist, Greif has also played with many famous non-classical and jazz musicians, including Chet Atkins.
