Peter Douskalis: Press

"Noteworthy technique, a creative approach, assured touch and glorious tone"

"Douskalis is clearly a gifted musician, and his fleet-fingered attack often manages to make his Gibson ES-175 sound like several instruments."

"While he is a melodic player, Douskalis sometimes emulates an orchestra and pulls it off. Melody,
harmony, bass lines all interact logically, sometimes making it sound as if more than one guitarist is on the CD."

“It's refreshing to hear a soloist in touch with his instrument and the sounds that come out of it…what is perhaps most impressive is Douskalis' touch and ability to emote a melody line.“

"Somehow Peter’s guitar reaches out and touches your soul. The music caresses you like a lover’s hand, and your troubles just seem to melt away...The Dance of The Sea is something different for the music lovers ears. Its an album of beautiful sounds some new and some familiar. Its an album to be treasured and savored and shared with other music loving friends. One listen and you’ll be entranced."

"lighting up the Jazz industry with his amazing Jazz guitar performances that are sure to delight music fans."

The Connection Newspaper interviewed me about my new CD "The Dance of the Sea". Read the full article here:

Every once in a great while talent becomes obvious in young players. Guitarists Peter Douskalis and Alex Freidah exemplify this very nicely with the release of their first CD; a wonderful blend of jazz, classical and pop, threading through their arrangements of well-known tunes, but especially with their very own compositions! Both can play, both are creative, but most of all both are musically intuitive and stylistically attentive!

A nice variety of different styles of playing from two fine young guitarists

This is a great CD! Whether you are a guitarist or just a music lover, there is something on here for everyone

Douskalis and Freidah have learned the art of compromise when it comes to recreating and composing music. In remakes such as "Eleanor Rigby", the Beatles receive a tasteful makeover as the vocal line is replaced by a careful guitar melody and the violin backbeats are substituted with a heavier (but not too heavey) acoustic guitar.
