Welcome!

 
NEWS!
 
My EDU site is coming along, launching soon. The basic idea is that all of my material plus an hour (at least) of new stuff will be available 24/7 for $25 a month. Around 10 hours of material when I launch and I'll be adding new stuff every month.
More details soon, having some tech issues but we're getting there.


 

MORE NEWS!  After working with RedPlate Amps guru Henry Heistand we've come up with my signature amp!

Guitarist Chuck D'Aloia and drummer Art Bernstein have a new record out titled Circle 7.  The record is filled with great tunes and grooves, Chuck is an amazing player who should be a household name. When he picks up a guitar he makes it speak in an effortless manner that only is gained from years of experience and loads of talent, he is equally at home ripping it up over complex jazz harmony as he is playing stinging blues or funky grooves all with a tone to die for.
 Art 's drumming serves as a perfect foil for Chuck and the tunes, both of these guys are monster players, but what sets it apart for me is the great compositions and the ability they have to convey them without wasting a note, they impress the listener with their musicality first and foremost, don't get me wrong there is plenty of burning playing on the disc, it is just never forced or used for effect and it all adds up to great music and a wonderful listen.
