There was a certain autumn feeling,  last night, in the air temperature, that one can breathe in the UK capital, with fairly mild daily temperatures and pockets of humidity here and there, replaced, as the light of the day fades out, by a breezy and slightly chilled wind.

One thing that remained constant, though, last night in London, was the rising temperature in the venue where the Italian Guitar Virtuoso Matteo Mancuso performed in, for one night only for the UK crowds, showcasing his instrumental debut album called The Journey, a record where the 26-years-old from Sicily displayed bags of talent as a guitar player in a very eclectic fashion, by mixing layers of Jazz Fusion, Rock and World Music with remarkable class and originality.

It's always a very exciting feeling when there are changes, in music in general and in this instance, in American music history. For a very long time, perhaps since the early '00, the Blues, Soul, Americana and Blues/Rock sounds have been solidly ruled by a certainly talented group of artists that have crafted a solid career, often deservedly, for themselves but, on the flip side, they have not also being able to shuffle their own music game much, towards different music tangents.

But then, when in 2019 a 19-years-old from Clarksdale, Mississippi called Christone "Kingfish" Ingram released his debut album called simply Kingfish, the music press and fans across the world were hugely taken by surprise by the craft, the artistic depth and the indisputable talent of the young American guitarist and singer/songwriter, so much so that the record reached a Grammy Award Nomination, the number 1 spot in the Billboard Blues Chart plus several more accolades coming from the worldwide press.
