Jimmy Mac , Guitarist/Composer from the SF Bay area .
I've played or have been involved in a lot great projects with musicians like Mike Stern , Kim Stone and many others . Everyone of these guys became my teachers .
I spent years in the NY/NJ club and studio scene and worked in various settings as both a violinist and guitarist . My recent projects are my most adventurous as a writer and performer. This new release Give It Back ! exhibits some of my best melodic pieces as well as solid aggressive soloing in a cross styled manner similar to Jeff Beck and Eric Johnson. Andrew Higgins and all the musicians involved John Mader , Damien Masterson , Steve Rossi , Bob Mocarsky and Jeff Radawsk played great , never straying from the art of the composition thus making them integral to its musical outcome .
I enjoy funked up grooves and frequently go old school for my inspiration just listen to Huggie Bear or MMTG and you will hear Eddie Kendricks and Prince .
But i'll let you, as the listener be the judge and ultimately determine the accuracy of my intentions - good music is good music - its that simple .
