Description
Bill Farrish: Jazz Guitarist: The term “accomplished musician” only scratches the surface in a description of Bill Farrish. The range and breadth of his musical prowess are yet to be defined as he continues to write, perform and produce music.
Bill was born in 1962 in St. Albans in Queens, a borough of New York City which had been the home of many jazz greats. Bill began playing the guitar at 12, imitating the styles of renowned guitarists, including Buddy Guy. By 17 he became heavily influenced by the likes of instrumentalists with no particular association with the guitar. Bill studies his own instrument in relation to the music of Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock and the immortal John Coltrane.
Although he was self-taught, Bill added to his arsenal of natural ability by receiving formal musical education. He earned a Bachelor of Music Performance, at Five Towns College in New York and endeavored in private studies JoAnne Brackeen, Joe Monk, Peter Rogine and Mark Elf.
Over the next two decades Bill would make his musical bones playing live, wherever his guitar could be heard. His unique style and creative phrasing he developed caught the ears of many locally and nationally known musicians. Among them were Bernard Purdie, Cecil Bridgewater, David Garibaldi, Jimmy Halperin, Ray Alexander, The Dennis Bram Quartet and Bob Emry ...

Dodi Battaglia: guitar:
Dodi Battaglia nasce a Bologna il 1 giugno 1951 da una famiglia di musicisti, il padre suonava il violino, lo zio la chitarra, il nonno il mandolino e il pianoforte.
Inizia a studiare musica e a suonare la fisarmonica a cinque anni, ancora prima di leggere e scrivere. Studia questo strumento fino all'età di 14 anni poi un giorno, ascoltando un brano degli Shadows, decide che da quel momento in poi era la chitarra la sua vera passione.
Suona in vari gruppi locali fra cui i Meteors che accompagnavano Gianni Morandi, poi il grande incontro con i Pooh nel 1968.
Diventa così membro del più popolare e longevo gruppo italiano.
Inizia a suonare anche il pianoforte e a comporre sviluppando uno stile particolare che rispecchia due approcci strumentali diversi. Sua è la voce in molti brani dei Pooh fra cui Tanta voglia di lei; il primo vero grande successo del gruppo.
Ma tutto questo non gli fa dimenticare il suo grande amore per la chitarra; inizia cosi a studiare perfezionando uno stile fatto di gusto tecnica virtuosistica e di personalità.
Nel 1986 durante un tour in Germania ottiene il riconoscimento quale "miglior chitarrista europeo" insieme a Ella Fidgerald "miglior cantante".
Anche la critica italiana l'anno dopo gli conferisce il premio quale miglior chitarrista in assoluto. A tutt'oggi rimane un punto di riferimento nel panorama chitarristico italiano.
Molte sono le collaborazioni con altri artisti: Zucchero Vasco Rossi, Gino Paoli, Mia Martini, Raf, Enrico Ruggeri, Franco Mussida, Maurizio Solieri, Tommy Emmanuel e tanti altri.
La Fender, storica azienda produttrice americana di chitarre, ha voluto dedicargli una "Signature Model" una chitarra costruita e messa in commercio su sue specifiche soprannominata "Dodicaster" ...

Born in 1954, Scott Henderson grew up in an era where blues-rock was at it's peak. His formative musical years took place in South Florida where he played the clubs with all kinds of bands playing everything from Led Zepplin to James Brown. As he was learning his instrument, Henderson was influenced by Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Ritchie Blackmore, and the great blues guitarists Albert King and Buddy Guy. Even though Henderson claims to be more of a blues-rock player, it was the influence of jazz that led him to the style of playing and composing that he is now famous for.
Scott finished school at Florida Atlantic University, then moved to Los Angeles where he played and recorded with Chick Corea's Elektric Band, with violinist Jean-Luc Ponty, bassist Jeff Berlin and "Players", and a four year stint with Weather Report's Joe Zawinul.
Henderson formed the band Tribal Tech in 1984 with bassist Gary Willis, and after nine critically acclaimed albums, Henderson has proven himself as a world class player and composer. In 1991, he was named by Guitar World as the #1 Jazz Guitarist, and in January 1992, he was named #1 Jazz Guitarist in Guitar Player's Annual Reader's Poll. His first solo blues album "Dog Party", a welcome retreat to his musical roots, won best blues album of 1994 in Guitar Player. The second blues album for Mesa/Bluemoon Records pairs Henderson with legendary vocalist Thelma Houston. "Tore Down House" was released in April 97, and received four star reviews in Jazz Times, Guitar Player, Guitar, Guitar Shop, and L.A Jazz Scene Magazines. The Tribal Tech album "Rocket Science" was released on ESC Records in November 2000 ...

David Wilcox/Nance Pettit Biography:
After a total of 12 albums released between them, 11 for David (4 on A&M Records, 3 on Koch Records, 2 on Vanguard Records, and 2 on What Are Records?) www.davidwilcox.com, and 1 for Nance, 1995’s Skin and Water, (Fresh Baked Records), it seemed somewhat inevitable that eventually they would do one together.
But they tell the story best:
“This is the blossom. It’s what all your music has been leading toward.” These words surprised us, but we couldn’t deny the way these poems seemed to mysteriously bloom into music. When we sang them for our friend Rich Hordinski who had produced David’s most recent CD, he said that he would love to work on this next one. We said that we didn’t have any plans to record the poems, they were just an offshoot of our love of singing together.
Someone had given us a collection of mystic poetry for Christmas, and in the evenings by the fire when our son was in bed, we had fun finding melody and chords that seemed to open up the meaning of these ancient poems. The arrangements evolved through singing them together round and round as we switched harmonies. The way they came to life was remarkable ...

Tom Strahle:
Los Angeles Studio Guitarist & Songwriter.
I've been writing songs for over twenty years (if you don't count the book of Beatlesque tunes I wrote when I was seven). But it wasn't until I started leading worship in 1996 that I began to develop a desire to write worship songs. I've always enjoyed writing. I almost consider it as necessary to my well being as breathing. I feel that there is a part of my heart and/or mind that is exposed with each song. In the case of the songs I've written for Porch this is definitely true. In the case of the praise and worship songs I've written I hope to be as invisible as possible as I write about or to our Lord and Savior. I believe that we were created for one primary purpose and that is to worship our God. He doesn't even need us to witness for Him (although I believe that is a vital part of a Christian walk) His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature are clearly seen in His creation ...so that they are without excuse (Romans 1:19,20).The songs below were written for God's glorification and the Church's edification ...
