From Album: "Esteban ~ Flamenco Y Rosas".

Esteban (born 1948 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is the stage name of guitarist Stephen Paul. Recognizable by his bolero hat and sunglasses, Esteban has gained commercial success by selling his CDs and guitars on QVC and HSN. Esteban is popular among his fans but has been criticized as a player of bland, easy-listening music who has marketed himself by exploiting the name of the well-known Spanish classical guitarist Andrés Segovia.

Esteban is the most successful independent guitarist today. He owns his own label, has generated 9 CD's and a 90 minute video, appeared on QVC and performed live at the Arizona Diamondbacks opening game!

Esteban is one of the few guitarists alive to carry the coveted endorsement of his mentor, the legendary Andres Segovia. Esteban has sold over 2 million albums worldwide and performs 300 concerts a year.

From Album: Esteban: All My Love

Esteban is a classically trained guitarist who infusses flamenco and ethnic flair into his music.

This virtuoso flamenco guitarist, who studied with no less an authority than Andres Segovia, crossed over to the pop audience by widening his stylistic palette, and expanded that audience a thousandfold by hawking his wares on TV infomercials. The public took the bait in a big way, putting album after album of Esteban's music into the Billboard charts. Like many of his other efforts, Esteban's ALL MY LOVE showcases the guitarist's undeniably impressive fretwork in a variety of settings from simple and poignant to lushly romantic. If you're a pop fan looking to dip a tentative toe in the exotic waters of flamenco music, ALL MY LOVE (or for that matter, virtually any other Esteban release) might be just what you need.
