notes
This CD is a duet of me and myself on the 7-String guitar, in a traditional jazz/latin setting. I tried to keep it genuine. I was tired of the waste of time back and forth to work on the train so I decided to write a song a day with paper and pen. I had hundreds of songs after a while but these had a certain mood about them I liked. I wrote "My Gina" for my Wife, "Gina". Her support has made everything possible, I could only hope this comes somewhat close to my adoration for her.
I feel it's one of the strongest melodies and harmonic progressions I've written to date. Again, Eric Hennen (Mutt Productions), my drummer/percussionist, producer, and friend. He did an incredible job making ALL recordings and concepts possible!
I thank God foremost. "Everything" wouldn't "Be" with out him.
Originally from Michigan, I moved to the Boston, Massachusetts area. The guitar is my primary instrument and the bass is secondary instrument. My latest endeavor is the 8-String Novax guitar and the N/S Stick Guitar-Bass, on which I play or tap guitar and bass--at the same time. I play solo tap acoustic guitar as well.
Music I play:
Main thing: Jazz. I also play Alternative, Classical, Latin, Country, Rock, Funk, Flamenco, Blues, Psychedelic and more, whatever's needed. Though now more tapping.
CDs:
Most of my recordings tend to lean toward jazz from an altered (almost dream like) state.
