This example from Gilbert Isbin's forthcoming book: The Improvising Lutenist.

Belgian guitarist Gilbert Isban is a formidable nylon finger-picking veteran on everything from classical to avant-garde. He makes his debut as a composer and arranger on his 13th album-and in this case, that proves to be a lucky number. Water With A Smile is another of those albums purporting the equation. Latin + world + acoustic folk/rock innovative jazz.
