Egyptian Theater in Park City has been exhibiting the best talent for decades and was the premier venue for the Sundance film festival. What better place to showcase one of the most simply elegant guitarist of the modern stage. Ottmar Leibert, nostalgic for his Santa Fe days at mother natures Palo Solari Amphitheater, is used to the thin fresh mountain air and transforms the spirit to speak without words the wisdom of exact design of Latin acoustics. Playing with five fingers as pics, faster than the electrons can get to the closed circuit screen, more precise than a sound wave can reproduce , and with soul only heard with your eyes closed. Percussion from a box that seems to be a 30 piece drum set , really, just a box, a stool. A bass line responsive to the rifts he's pleased us for years. Then to see a electric guitar in his hands, seemly bashful to demand it's energy, Santana would turn to listen. Simply elegant .
