An impeccable display of virtuosity, sureness of touch and a fleeting Jazz improvisation drawing clearly on a classical background.

Chasing Time

Brad Prevedoros

Dynamic ensemble work is featured on this album of original instrumental music that is a unique blend of jazz, Latin, blues and rock. The music here does not move in a straight line but curves, twists and leaps through each fresh and exciting arrangement. Nylon string guitar, piano, synthesizer, drums and bass.

... a real upbeat, everything's all right kind of feel ...

Brad Prevedoros & Firedance
In Motion

A robust blend of upbeat rhumba-flemenco and Latin styling with a dash of jazz and a touch of tango. Accordion, bass and percussion provide the rhythmic, harmonic backbone for the virtuoso nylon string guitar work of Brad Prevedoros who former CBC radio host Max Ferguson referred to as “a very fine guitarist.” The music of Firedance, like their name, evokes a warm, lively, danceable feeling.
