Saturday, November 22, 2025 at 7:30PMFor over three decades Acoustic Alchemy has been at the forefront of contemporary jazz, even if the band's signature eclectic mix of styles has meant they have never comfortably fit snugly into any one genre; "We've had a lot of labels over the years, at the start there were all these names flying around like New Adult Contemporary, New Age music, and then it became Smooth Jazz, but we've never really thought about ourselves as being in any one particular genre. We just make music we like." Says Greg, "At the core it's always been about one simple concept: the sound of the nylon and steel guitars working together, but that leaves a lot of scope for exploring all sorts of musical ideas."
That is certainly the case with 33 1/3, and album which touches on Jazz (such as the track 'A Little Closer'), Blues ('Blues for Mr. Mu' being a tribute to the late Steely Dan founder Walter Becker), Caribbean (the band have a long history of incorporating the sounds of the Islands into their songs, and 'The Girl With A Plan' follows that tradition from such past hits as 'Mr. Chow' and 'Jamaica Heartbeat'), Eastern (found in the opening track of the album 'East of Babylon') and even Classical music ('Allemande' and 'Prelude in D Minor' two pieces that Greg has always loved playing since his early days at the London College of Music), and yet with all the diversity of styles, the album manages to still sound like classic Acoustic Alchemy, as Miles explains, "The band has changed a lot over the years, different personnel, different eras, different influences, but we always somehow make it sound like Acoustic Alchemy. I think every band tries to do that, to make something that's new and interesting, but the fans still hear it and go, that's Acoustic Alchemy!"
BMG Concerts is excited to announce that Acoustic Alchemy will perform at the Ormond Beach Performing Arts Center on Saturday, November 22nd, at 7:30 pm.
