Contemporary Jazz meets Classic Rock in "One Last Time". It might take a long list to itemize the many influences on this album, from Jimi Hendrix to Deep Purple to Miles Davis to Larry Carlton to Carlos Santana to Eric Johnson, but there is one unifying element: this album is really about GUITAR.

Preview Tracks and Liner Notes

One way to describe this rather eclectic group of tunes would be that they fuse classic rock tone, rhythms, sounds,and feels with a jazz-based melodic and harmonic vocabulary. If that either sounds too academic or just like nonsense, listen to a few previews. You'll get the idea.

1. Next Generation - Rock-fusion. Many guitar tracks. A little Miles Davis influence.

2. Guidepost - TV Show theme meets AC-DC. Many guitar tracks. Classic Rock in the middle.

3. I Need To Know- Slightly melancholy, blues-influenced. Again, many guitar tracks.

4. Fifths - Tribute to the Seattle's gift to the guitar, played on the guitar type he is most associated with.

5. Homecoming - Country-influenced. Written after my father came home for the last time before he passed away.

6. No Singing in the Garage - Rock. Country. Many different guitars. Short tribute to John Lord of Deep Purple in the middle.

7. I'll be Here- Fusion. Many guitar tracks.

8. One Last Time - Fusion with substantial classic rock influence.

9. Watch This Space - Congas, percussion, latin dance beat.

10. Red Current Jam - Power trio, rock shuffle.
