Undiscovered Master of the Guitar, August 10, 2000

John Bruschini explodes onto the scene with his first solo release. This CD features great original compositions, top-notch sidemen, and the extraordinary guitar playing of an undiscovered master. Bruschini's compositions erase the lines between jazz, blues, fusion, funk, and rock. These nine tunes cover an extraordinary spectrum of settings and emotions -- from sweet to soulful; from elegiac to electrifying; from introspective to downright incendiary. This CD has something to appeal to every listener -- beautiful melodies, tight ensemble playing, intelligent arrangements, and best of all, Bruschini's fiery and innovative guitar work. From the intense acoustic jazz of "As You Were," to the high-energy fusion of "Bloodroot," to the deep blues of "Way Down," to the heartbreaking beauty of "Sarah's," this CD contains a dazzling array of delights. Keep your eye (and your ear) on Bruschini -- he's the real thing!
