Description
Chuck Berry is one of rock & roll's great lyricists and developed some of its earliest trademark guitar licks; represented by CMG Worldwide.
Born in St. Louis on October 18, 1926 Berry had many influences on his life that shaped his musical style. He emulated the smooth vocal clarity of his idol, Nat King Cole, while playing blues songs from bands like Muddy Waters. For his first stage performance, Berry chose to sing a Jay McShann song called "Confessin' the Blues." It was at his high school's student musical performance, when the blues was well-liked but not considered appropriate for such an event. He got a thunderous applause for his daring choice, and from then on, Berry had to be onstage....

Larry Carlton's own musical story began in Southern California. He picked up his first guitar when he was only six years old. He was introduced to jazz in junior high school after hearing The Gerald Wilson Big Band album, Moment of Truth, with guitarist Joe Pass. Larry then became interested in Barney Kessel, Wes Montgornery and the legendary blues guitarist B.B. King. Saxophonist John Coltrane was also a major influence on Carlton, beginning with Coltrane's 1962 classic Ballads.
In 1968 he recorded his first LP, With A Little Help From My Friends (Uni). The enthusiastic industry response garnered him a place among jingle singers The Going Thing, recording on camera and radio commercials for Ford. Mid-season in his second year, he segued to Musical Director for Mrs. Alphabet, an Emmy-nominated children's show on the same network. It was here that Carlton showcased his acting skills, performing as the show's co-star, "Larry Guitar" ...

Gavin Lurssen is an acoustic guitarist who uses a wide range of musical styles that sometimes go to the cutting edge of experimentation and technique. He is signed with Zebra Records. Distribution and marketing is through Warner/Elektra/Atlantic Corporation and Sire Records.
His original compositions and unique percussive, melodic, playing style draw upon his South African heritage to entertain full and enthusiastic audiences.

Being the son of a political journalist, Gavin came to the United States from South Africa at age sixteen and settled in the Washington, D.C. area.

He now concentrates only on his original acoustic guitar instrumental music and occasionally works with other musicians including a guitarist, vocalist, fretless bass player, mando-cellist, percussionist or saz player (middle eastern mandolin-type stringed instrument) ...

Alan Prosser, Guitarist with the Oysterband:
Prosser is a polyglot stylist, he takes heed of much and creates a bag of tricks that sounds at once familiar yet new. And yes, it does come over as English, despite some of the 13 tracks being anchored in such disparate places as Canada, Scandinavia (my assumption that one), and Austria. In fact, throw in musicians digs, friendly kitchens and chummy firesides he has known, and this could be a `road' album. Mr. Prosser gives few hints he just plays.
It's a diverting selection that'll keep a grin of pure satisfaction on your face and a clear conscience about squeezing yet another fROOTS recommended album out of your current account. As his digits throw out different shapes and chase across the frets, finger - twisting bluesish runs on Canmore, Chunkily jigging Tanyardside (echoes of Brass Monkey), speedy riffery The Move, warm, medieval, courtly preciseness on William and Claire, reflective atmospherics in The Day is Ending. You wonder if there's anything he hasn't absorbed! His message; diversity is the creed ...

The buzz on Jennifer Batten began rising from the guitar underground in the late '80's. The guitar magazines promptly picked up on Jennifer, chronicling her savvy musicianship and highly original approach to the electric guitar in print. On Guitar for the Practicing Musician's premier compilation record, G.P.M.'s editor wrote, "It was Jennifer's version of John Coltrane's "Giant Steps" that was considered by her peers the 'scariest'and most requested cut on the disc."
At one point Batten was in 6 different bands at once playing everything from straight ahead rock, to metal, to fusion, to funk. Her video credits have included Natalie Cole's "Wild Women Do", Michael Jackson's "Moonwalker", Sara Hickman's "Take It Like A Man", and a feature interview in Hot Guitarist's video magazines premier issue ...
