Artist description About the Band: Peter Sprague: "For some time now I've wondered: What if I formed an acoustic group that featured two nylon string guitars whose players came from different musical backgrounds, like classical and jazz?? And what if I then added a sax or flute to ride over the top of the guitar sounds, along with some percussion to ground this enterprise?" Finally, I've had the good fortune to translate those musings into a beautiful CD with the help of Fred Benedetti, a fabulous guitarist in the classical and flamenco traditions; my brother Tripp Sprague, an absolutely stellar flautist and reed man; and my father, veteran Latin percussionist Hall Sprague. Blurring The Edges seemed like an appropriate name for the band, and for the album, since our intent is to soften the lines that typically separate and divide various types of music-i.e. classical, jazz, Latin, funk, etc..
