Writing about music is like dancing about architecture. I don't recall where I first came across that great saying but it sure resonates with me. I've had no clear idea how to describe my music for most of the last 30 years I've been releasing recordings of it. And Music From Connecticut is even harder in that regard than any of my previous 29 releases. I can't think of anything it sounds like. The best description I can come up with is that it might be something like what would happen if Jeff Beck played classical music. Sort of. Kinda. Or not. I dunno...
Whatever it is, it is not my usual relatively light acoustic guitar music. There's no acoustic guitar on It’s a bit more complex, a little more demanding, and is probably closer to classical music than to any other genre. Not that a classical musician would agree with that assessment. I like the music (or obviously I wouldn’t have written and recorded it) but your tastes may vary.
The music I've released over 3 decades has spanned a wide range of playing and compositional styles. This newest title certainly continues in that tradition. So don't purchase Music From Connecticut thinking it will sound like other of my titles that you may be familiar with; it won't. Except that, of course, it will. Because it's still me that has played and arranged or composed all of it. So as with all of my releases, this one is a reflection of my musical sensibilities.
If you do give it a try, I hope you enjoy it.
