CD Insert Notes

My life long love and pursuit of music through the guitar began like most kids in the late sixties and early seventies ... strumming a few chords and learning a few licks to rock and pop songs of the day. It wasn't until my introduction to jazz in my early twenties through Paul Bryne, that I started playing actual complete, recognizable songs. Paul introduced me to the style of guitar playing known for executing the melody and chords at the same time.

Paul also introduced me to jazz. This was cool stuff, creating one's own versions of a song ... creating your own melodies, improvising, spontaneous creation or at times combustion. A song could be different each time, performed in different styles each time.

So here with the help of two great musicians, I'm allowed to put together some melodies and chords and capture a little jazz for the first time on CD. I've picked some of my favorite songs and thrown in a couple of originals. I hope you enjoy this slice of time in my musical career and development.

A big thanks to my first two "real" guitar teachers, Franny Boyle and Paul Bryne. And a BIG, can't over state big, thanks to Chuck Anderson for a great song and his guidance and patience over the years.

Comments

Aloha, Curt,   I received your CD in the mail yesterday and it is just great!! WOW!! It is very easy to listen to and your guitar is simply superb!!. Just a neat swinging selection of songs without getting too "complicated" like some performers tend to do. Keep up the great work and hope you have more projects in the future. Good luck and keep swinging!   Sincerely, Dave Alama

I finally got around to listen to your CD and I want you to know how much I like it. I just had to plow through about a dozen "smooth jazz: CD's and I though I was going to barf. I really appreciate how and what you play! - Roger Sadowsky, Sadowsky Guitars Ltd.

I received the CD and picks a couple of days ago.  And thanks for including a few extra picks.  I've really enjoyed listening to the CD -- your sound is very pure and clear, and your arrangements are wonderful. - Tom Bloomfield (Derry, NH)

 

Hi Curt. I really enjoyed checking out your websites. Nice contribution to the jazz guitar community! I checked out your soundbites. "Shadow of Your Smile" sounds reminiscent of early Johnny Smith (one of my favorites). - Mike DeMicco

I stumbled on your website at jazzguitarresources.com and listened to your demo cuts from "Jazz At the Midnight Cafe". You blew me away. Your style is my absolute favorite for listening (and playing). Great stuff!! - Jim Weller

Received your CD just prior to leaving on a trip last week. Listened to it for 600 miles. Please keep me in mind should you EVER do another one of jazz standards. The only thing I'm sorry about is that I don't live close enough to come see you play live or to get lessons from you.

Also thanks for the picks. I've never used that style of pick before, but find that the notes come easier and sound better when using them. They took a bit of getting used to, but now they're all I use.

Best of luck to you. You're a great player. - Jim Weller
