“you might think…that a performance of Bach's work would not make for the best viewing on video.

Where that album paid tribute to the saxophonist's R&B heroes, In the Zone, which marks Elliot's 25th anniversary as a recording artist, offers a thank-you to the influences of his predecessors in the smooth jazz genre: namely Grover Washington Jr., David Sanborn, and Bob James.
Album released in Spain in 1991 by the label Polygram Iberica, within the program that gave then the Quincentennial State Society to contemporary music in the category of concert guitar. The project caused controversy by some purists of the Spanish classical guitar (not 'flamenco' guitar), against the advice of its own Joaquín Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez author, who praised her. The concert by Paco de Lucia is accompanied by the Cadaqués Orchestra, conducted by Edmon Colomer, and in the part dedicated to the suite 'Iberia' will also accompany the guitars of José María Bandera and Juan Manuel Cañizares.
