Summer Solstice found Slavek Hanzlik coming into his own, developing a provocative fusion of bluegrass, folk, jazz, country and contemporary instrumental. Hanzlik is a graceful, subtle guitarist and a skillful composer, creating a music that has deep roots but sounds modern. Supported by Bela Fleck (banjo), Rob Ickes (dobro), Tim O'Brien (mandolin), Stuart Duncan (fiddle, mandolin) and Mark Schatz (bass, banjo), Hanzlik sounds supple and graceful, resulting in an album of quiet beauty. ~ Rodney Batdorf
