On June 24, 2003 Acoustic Alchemy releases Radio Contact, their new album for Higher Octave Music. Fresh from two successful world tours, a Grammy nomination (their third), a Gibson Guitar Award, a Jazz Trax "Album of the Year" Award (all for 2001's AArt CD) and a 2003 National Smooth Jazz Awards nomination in the "Group/Duo of the Year" category, the British jazz group has delivered an impressive, sophisticated work. Classic melodic guitar lines built on smoldering grooves make for a CD that both stands with and apart from the best of smooth jazz - a genre Acoustic Alchemy helped launch. In fact, it was 1987's Red Dust and Spanish Lace that established Acoustic Alchemy as a force in contemporary instrumental music. Since then, AA has grown its legacy via an adventurous mix of Latin, jazz, pop and, more recently, soul textures, along with their core commitment to the guitars of Greg Carmichael and Miles Gilderdale. Their third Higher Octave Music release, Radio Contact, points the band forward with an exciting studio sound, fresh modern rhythms and a back to basics approach which keeps the Carmichael-Gilderdale synergy front and center.
