Smooth Jazz with Patrick Yandall, in San Diego, California. Premiere musician with a sound and flavor all of his own. Unique, vibrant, fresh and versatile.
Over the years, Patrick Yandall has built a enviable reputation as the consummate working musician. But, to quote Patrick, "recording (my own) albums is truly what I live for". The San Diego based guitarist recently released From the Ashes, his fifth solo cd. The project is dedicated to all the families that lost their homes in the fires in and around San Diego just last year. Yandall himself was forced to evacuate although his home was spared. Hence the title of the album. With the support of several top-shelf players, including Scott Wilkie, Joel Rosenblatt (Spyro Gyra), Kimo Cornwell (Hiroshima), Randy Brecker, and Jason Weber; Yandall delivers what is arguably his most consistent and finest effort to date ...

a T-Rex Story
Our mission is to:
Provide musicians with extremely good professional gear, for medium money.
Our general goal is to:
- Maintain a complete line of pedals for guitar players
- Maintain a complete line of pedals for bass players
Our plan (July 1st,2005 - June 30th, 2006) is to release 7 new pedals:
- BassJuice. Smooth, delicious bass distortion. Was released mid july 2005
- M๘ller. Overdrive pedal with separate boost, will be released mid nov. 2005
- FuelTank. The Power Supply! Gives 9 volt DC, 12 volt DC and 12 volt AC. Comes with all cables, at the end of 2005
- Reverb pedal. Revolutionary warm vintage analogue reverb. Early 2006
- Death Distortion pedal. (Heavy Metal)
- Vibe. Development is taking place. Jimi Hendrix gave the original sound
- Bass Compressor. Same technology as the reverb. Transparent and vintage.
T-Rex was founded as a private company by Lars Dahl and Sebastian Jensen back in 1996. These two guys was thrilled by the MIDI standard and MIDI technology. They believed, that they could build some of the best MIDI control gear. And they did.
The first issue of the T-Rex BigFoot MIDI board was yellow. The board could control more MIDI units. Later came the T-Rex Mac1 MIDI controller build for the 19 inch rack. Lots os loops, VCA control, mixer etc. Using the BigFoot, you could now control the Mac1 placed in the rack, which again controlled almost everything mounted.
The best MIDI setup gear was sold to a lot of danish professional guitar players, back in the nineties. Most of them still use it. But the time for rack gear was running out. Players were buying more and more effect pedals. Everybody was moving away from the rack towards pedals.

5. martin barre
Martin Barre - anatomy of a guitar player. Guitarist with Jethro Tull for over 30 years.
was born in Birmingham, England on the 17th of November, 1946. My Grandfather had been a violinist in his own orchestra in Paris and, although my Father wanted to play Clarinet, he became an engineer. He never lost interest in music and as soon as I bought my first guitar he gave me albums by Barney Kessel, Jim Smith and Wes Montgomery hoping to broaden my horizons!
My schooling progressed from Kings Norton Grammer, to Tudor Grange Grammer, then onto Lanchester Polytech, later to become Coventry University.
The music scene in the mid 1960’s was big enough to provide most bands with as many gigs as they could handle - more than was wise for someone in full time education!!
In 1966 I took the plunge and moved to London with a friend, Chris, who had played Saxophone in our band “The Moonrakers”. We had been promised work in the band led by Screaming Lord Sutch, (Ritchie Blackmore was once a member), but we were let down.
Work was scarce but we finally landed a gig with a Bogner Regis based band, “Motivation”, who had backed Beau Brummel. The catch was we both had to play Sax. I bought a Tenor Sax on Friday and spent the weekend practising and auditioned on the Monday. Luckily my flute playing from school helped me bluff my way through.
The band became a Blues band in 1968, after metamorphizing through Soul, R&B and Pop. We backed visiting soul artists such as the Coasters, the Drifters and Lee Dorsey. We even recorded a single “Lady Godiva”, for Liberty Records, written by their in-house songwriter who always seemed to be glued to the piano. His name was -- Elton John!
We shared a house with a bunch of mad Scotsmen - a band called Hopscotch . They would later become the Average White Band, and Alan Gorey sang and played bass on a track with us.
We all played up in Dundee on New Year’s Eve with Pink Floyd, featuring the new guy, Dave Gilmour. (That was one crazy night!!)
The Motivations now became Gethsemane and ended up playing blues clubs all over England. I was happy being back on guitar and also playing lots of flute.
I had heard stories of Jethro Tull, The flute player that looked like a tramp, a great Bluesy Guitar player and their reputation was growing fast ...
