About this album
Finger Paintings highlights Earl Klugh’s graceful guitar voice at the point where jazz-funk and contemporary jazz met mainstream appeal. Released in 1977, the album helped establish Klugh as a distinctive melodic player: fluid, understated and emotionally direct rather than showy. Its mix of original pieces and interpretations such as Keep Your Eyes On the Sparrow (Baretta’s Theme) and Long Ago and Far Away underlines his gift for turning familiar material into something polished and personal. Blending supple rhythm work with clean, lyrical phrasing, the record became one of the albums that defined Klugh’s early reputation and the sound of late-1970s jazz guitar.
