Classical Guitar Magazine (04-2014)
Presumbaly the title is a sideways reference to Miles Davis’ highly influential and legendary jazz album of 1959 ‘Kind of blue’. ... Altogether this is a well-constructed, imaginative and enjoyable new piece of guitar music which should have appeal not just to lovers of jazz only. The presentation is of top quality whit clear and easy-to-read score and highly attractive front cover design and ideally suited to the Intermediate-plus player.
