‘The Minstrel’s Bazaar’ – Offering Fresh, Untouched Music!

I heard my husband listening to some fresh,  authentic music. Generally, our music tastes do not match. But the composition of this particular CD made me stop and listen. And inadvertently, I began to absorb and enjoy the breezy, entertaining and enchanting music that flowed through my apartment like a dream.

My husband informed me the composition was a part of the very recently released The Minstrel’s Bazaar by Karl Swartz, Chris Chelgren and their band of finest musicians in our Minneapolis- Saint Paul region of Minnesota, US.

Swartz, a guitarist and instructor, is a popular name in music. He has around 40 years of achievements and performances to his credit. Do check out his website here to know more.

All the compositions in The Minstrel’s Bazaar (guitar, bass, viola, drums, keys, mix) have a delightful feel coupled with old world charm – in my layman’s terms. I am sure aficionados would find layers of nuances in it to talk about. 

The artistic cover of the CD, depicts a world of magic realism. Look closely and you will find caricatures of the musicians as well as ingenious symbols that contribute to the idea of The Minstrel’s Bazaar. Interesting names of the 11 compositions add to the fun! My personal favorite is the immensely spirited ‘Scottish Fair’. I bet you would be forced to dance to this tune!

Therefore, do visit the realms of this bazaar  to experience “World-Flavored” Progressive Rock and Acoustic Style music at its best. An evening filled with entertainment and relaxation is guaranteed! 

(This is my honest opinion not promotional.)
