New Impressions'This is a remarkably
impressive ensemble that serves, in Guidi’s words, as “a
stepping stone for many talented young players.” Jazzmania has
them in abundance, and the future of big-band Jazz, at least in The
Netherlands, seems as luminous and breathtaking as the aurora borealis.' Jack Bowers, big band specialist, U.S. music magazine 'Cadence'.

Forbidden Flute'I
believe there are new roads to explore, I don't believe everything has
been said on the jazz flute. For example I've heard some experimental
work being done by Peter Guidi that I like very much, I find it very
interesting.' 'In
my opinion this recording is a standard work that any self-respecting
flutist who wishes to remain in touch with the times should listen to.' 'The
quote from Aristotle on the back of the cd cover 'The flute is not an
instrument that has a good moral effect. It is too exciting'. Is more
than just an intellectual boast, it is here made to come true'. Click on the cover or

A Weaver of DreamsA recording in trio formation, featuring the flute family'I kept telling myself
that high expectations are usually followed by disappointment. But
not in this case. I heard a wonderful flute player whose style is
so unique, so sensitive and at the same time self-assured , that his
way of playing should be labelled 'Guidi-ism'.....the flutes whispered
out of two very contented loud speakers.' 'He swings, he is lyrical, he
vocalises with the flute even producing three note chords by playing
two notes and singing the third. Everything is produced acoustically
and sounds totally natural.' Click below for a transcription
of Peter Guidi's flute solo from the title track 'A
Weaver of Dreams': Click on the cover

The Jazz FluteThe acclaimed two volume jazz improvisation method for flute. The chapters can be studied consecutively or separately. A comprehensive method for experienced flute players and beginners alike. 'With this
work Peter Guidi truly fills a gap by providing the student with a useful
book which is indispensable to understand and delve deeply into the
jazz flute.' 'The Jazz Flute' is a real no
nonsense, complete study book. It is based upon a solid foundation and
systematically constructed. It is also a friendly book, informative
and at times humourous using sayings from musicians, composers and philosophers.
What also comes across is that jazz is not just the study of theory
but also a way of life.
