Cracking the Code is a 14-track compilation of brand-new solo and duo studio recordings by leading guitarists Dr Martin Taylor MBE, Nigel Price, Alessio Menconi, Gareth Fowler, Giorgio Serci, Jason Henson, Andrea Rinciari, Alban Claret, produced by Fibonacci Guitars in association with Nigel Price's Nervy Nigel Records All the guitarists were given a free choice of what they wanted to play, and many of those choices happened right there on the spot. They are all busy, working jazz musicians so it's really not uncommon for them to play pretty much anything at the drop of a hat. Whilst most of the compositions are therefore from the standard jazz repertoire, there are two originals on here, Martin Taylor's 'The Fair Haired Child' and Gareth Fowler 's 'I see'. It was decided that the album would be made without amplifiers, with just a little bit of the DI for 'body', in order to showcase the acoustic sound of these beautiful instruments.
