Californian guitarist/composer Jim Stubblefield is among the rising stars from the nuevo flamenco movement, joining the passion of traditional flamenco with modern elements like Southern American rhythms and Afro-Cuban jazz. His 1997 debut November released his signature mixture of worldbeat, modern, jazz, and rock and roll, using electrical and classical guitar textures for any modern feel. Towns of Gold showed up a year later on, and 1999 noticed the discharge of Rhythm from the Center, which also presented the Jim Stubblefield group, the guitarist’s touring music group since 1995.
