ACOUSTIC SHAPES is a collection of original compositions. As melodic and harmonic pictures they show us the many different possibility offers by the acoustic guitar. You can find a deep lyricism in  Omaggio ad Astor (Hommage to Astor) and La Profezia dell'Armeno (The Armenian Profecy), blues phrasyng and ostinato walkin' bass in Mr. Kelly. Ralphando (a dedication to Ralph Towner) has jazz shadows, 'Maggio Bevuto 'o Suonno has a popular and melodic taste. A Briglie Sciolte is played with tapping and percussive technique, while La Notte che Inventarono il Rock'n'Roll has a more rock flavour. L'Attesa flows with a subtle latin nuance. The Fingerstyle Guitar lead us to paint emotions through the creativity, always changing models and forms: the Acoustic Shapes.

"I first met Giovanni Palombo many years ago when he came as a student to the Berklee Umbria Jazz clinics. He was already a solid guitarist who like all of us was searching for his own voice. We met many times after that as friends. Giovanni quickly discovered his love of the acoustic guitar and it's many possibilities long before it was in fashion. He is an excellent writer and has organized some very interesting groups to perform his writing. I'm sure any guitarist interested in exploring the many possibilities of the acoustic guitar would benefit greatly from this book. Congratulations Giovanni" Jim Kelly (performer artist and guitar teacher at Berklee School of Music, Boston U.S.A.) “Giovanni Palombo’s musical microcosm is characterized by an original amalgamation of mediterranean melodic phrases, impressionistic harmonic progressions and jazzy improvvisations. His compositions moves within that especially staked out area with a serene, broad swing, majestic, impelling, playful, always with a surprising twist” (Acoustic Music Records).
