Track Listing

Branco Stoysin-acoustic guitars/Leslee Booth-6str. contra bass/Buster Birch-percussion

Total time: 49.00

12th anniversary of Sun Recordings and 6th new album INEXHAUSTIBLE, new originals and a Jobim classic. Probably our liveliest and brightest yet...by an inexhaustible and consistent (a rarity!) guitar trio that brings the Sun to the people...

The title and the artwork of the cover reveal it all, and the music itself will tell the rest...

Two worthy of note points: All of the original tunes appear to Branco in a flash. The opening track arrived on stage 5 minutes before the start of a gig, when he shouted "Where's the pen... to write it down".

Like with all previous albums there was no use of "Sibelius", and alike, and/or any other MIDI-LIDI-DIDI :>) in composing/arranging process, nor any toxic substances either :>) , instead just the silence-and-solitude, a guitar and a pen. And there was no use of "Pro Tools", tricks and/or any other digital editing during recording/mixing/mastering. Simply put, hand-made-100%-pure music, and what you hear on the CD is what you get when trio plays live, if not even more live.

And, oh yes, this is a true replication album release, like all the previous 5 are, not an as-you-need-it CD-R "album" :>)

Reviews

“Truly lyrical, complex, texturally beautiful, melodically interesting and technically impressive compositions.”

“Confident and highly enjoyable set of melody-led, Sunshine-filled tunes. If you’re feeling blue and want to be filled with quiet rapture and measured joy this disc could be just the mood-enhancer you need.”

29/06/2009 Andy Roberts, Jazz-Connections Radio Cardiff, UK.

“Branco and his trio are one of my favourites… new album Inexhaustible is great stuff… always a pleasure hearing his music… love playing it.”

17/06/2009 Chris Parker - Vortex album reviews, UK.

“There is indeed a freshness and wholesomeness about this new album and Stoysin showcases one of the most delicate and thoughtful guitar sounds in the music on such graceful, instantly memorable original tunes. Quietly joyous, thoroughly unpretentious and unfussily virtuosic music, this comes warmly recommended, like Stoysin's previous albums.”

08/06/2009 Eddie Russell - Radio Show, Columbus, Texas, USA.

“Another masterpiece... and even though I was indoors when I listened, the power of the Sun that these three guys generate gave me a tan, at least it felt like it. Their recordings never fail to uplift and heal. The trio keeps up the excellent work.”

08/06/2009 Andrzej Patlewicz - Jazz Radio, Poland.

“Fantastic album”

08/06/2009 Steve Becker, ‘Great Guitars’, BBC Radio Lancashire, UK.

“Inexhaustible is a perfect title for Branco's latest collection, as he seems to have an inexhaustible supply of lyrical tunes. Once again - whether on self-penned folk, jazz or eastern pieces - he's managed to find a crisp, distinctive, melodic voice. His acoustic sound is fresh and vital and all his own. A real pleasure.”

04/06/2009 Ian Mann www.thejazzmann.com

“Full of quiet beauty “Inexhaustible” continues the customarily high technical standards we have come to expect from Sun Recordings’ Branco Stoysin and his regular trio. This is the sound of a master craftsman at work. Stoysin’s playing is as crystalline and beautifully articulated as ever, sympathetically supported by Booth’s liquid bass and Birch’s delightfully detailed percussion. Delicate filigree, subtle, clean, immaculate, imaginative, optimistic, warm and relaxing. This album is further evidence of guitarist’s abilities in an understated display of quiet virtuosity.”
