about

Margaret Slovak's second album, "New Wings," features 11 of her original jazz/classical solo and duo instrumental compositions, along with a classic jazz ballad, "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning," and an enchanting song by Brazilian musician Egberto Gismonti, "Memoria E Fado." The eight duets pair Margaret's nylon-string and electric guitars with three wonderful Portland, Oregon based musicians: acoustic bassist Dave Captein, steel-string guitarist Doug Smith and pianist George Mitchell. The album also contains five solo nylon-string guitar pieces composed and performed by Margaret.

This CD is inspired by the lives of three people who greatly impacted Margaret's life: her mother, Mary Slovak, her dear friend, Doug Harden, and her friend and mentor, the great bassist LeRoy Vinnegar.

A selected review of "New Wings":

“Margaret Slovak: New Wings. Slovak's CD is beautiful....her intricate guitar work impressing jazz and classical fans alike. After playing in smoky bars, she dedicated much of her time to working at hospices and hospital units, playing her lovely compositions for the sick and dying, including her mother and the late great bassist LeRoy Vinnegar. She brought joy to numerous people who were bedridden.

...her songs are rich and intricate. Her finger-picking style is somewhere between Segovia and Pat Metheny when he plays acoustic. She performs solo on some of the disc, but Dave Captein and Doug Smith make appearances on bass and guitar respectively, and George Mitchell plays piano on one track as well. The music is soothing yet interesting in its complexity. Perfect for bedside manners...Four star rating.”
— Kyle O'Brien: OREGON'S JAZZSCENE MAGAZINE
