Here are some of the albums I've been listening to over the last couple of months.
High-quality jazz fusion recording featuring an all-star cast of LA's finest players. Includes Alex Machacek and Mike Miller on guitar.
Great modern fusion band from Canada. Guitarist John Pelosi is a killer player in the Holdsworth vein.
Charlie Hunter - Gentlemen, I Neglected To Inform You You Will Not Be Getting Paid
More of a throwback slow-jazz feel than Hunter's previous work. The fact that it was recorded in "Glorious Mono" really adds to the retro vibe.
Amit Heri Group - Elephant Walk
I met and hung out with Amit a bit during my NAMM trip. Great guy, and a great guitarist. This album is a re-issue of one of his older releases. A very lyrical jazz recording with an occasional Indian influence. Includes Matt Garrison on bass.
Steve Morse and Sarah Spencer - Angelfire
New vocal project pairing Morse's compositions and Spencer's gorgeous vocals. Mostly acoustic-based, with an almost Enya-like feel. This album has not been released yet, but I picked up the "Tour Edition" at their first live performance last month. Turns out I was the first person to ever buy this album!
