This special edition of NOUVEAU FLAMENCO has been digitally remastered, contains new mixes and features five previously unreleased tracks.

Personnel: Ottmar Liebert (Flamenco guitar, keyboards); Jon Gagan (bass); Jeff Sussmann (percussion).

Recorded at Pyramid Sound, Santa Fe, New Mexico in January 1989 and Stepbridge Studios, Santa Fe, New Mexico in May 1989. Includes liner notes by Ottmar Liebert, Keith, and Kent Zimmerman.

NOUVEAU FLAMENCO, Ottmar Liebert's debut album, was a tremendous success upon its release in 1990; it went platinum, and paved the way for Liebert's popularity in both the New Age and mainstream markets. On the tenth anniversary of the album, Higher Octave Records remixed, remastered, and rereleased NOUVEAU FLAMENCO, adding five previously unreleased tracks. Higher Octave's re-release testifies to the strength of the album's original vision, and establishes its legacy for the years to come.

To his talents as a traditional flamenco guitarist Liebert adds touches of world music (light, Latin beats characterize much of the album), jazzy flourishes, and a sense of pop accessibility. As an instrumentalist Liebert is smooth and sensual, coaxing subdued, passionate melodies from his acoustic with elegance and feeling. While flamenco purists might take issue with Liebert's cross-cultural, commercial take on the genre, Liebert has the distinction of introducing the music's vocabulary to mainstream America. The re-issue of NOUVEAU FLAMENCO is a fine example of the artist's sultry craft.
