Panorama: The Best of Craig Chaquico

CD Details

Craig Chaquico, the former Jefferson Starship guitarist, launched a solo career as a pop instrumentalist in 1993 and quickly became a leading voice in contemporary instrumental music. Panorama, released in 2000 on Higher Octave, draws from his first five recordings and showcases his signature blend of acoustic guitar with electronic and rock textures. Tracks like “Native Tongue,” “Sacred Ground,” and “Return of the Eagle” highlight the melodic inventiveness and lyrical joy that defined his early work, while newer selections such as “Cafe Carnival” and “Beyond Words” reflect his evolution toward smooth jazz influences.

This CD contains ten tracks spanning over fifty minutes of instrumental music that ranges from pop-rock to jazz and world music elements. Panorama serves as an excellent introduction to Chaquico’s instrumental catalog, capturing both the organic creativity of his debut era and the polished production of his later work.
