Samo Salamon & Friends - Almost Alone Vol. 2 (2021)

I'm really happy to present to you the album Almost Alone Vol. 2 – the second volume of three volumes of a really amazing new European guitar project I started in May during the Corona lockdown.

The project features 36 fantastic jazz guitarists from 35 different European countries - all these musicians are amazing guitarists and composers and I'm really thankful that they contributed their amazing share to the compositions I wrote.
