Left Of Center, from the Chris Shahin Band, is a choice collection of original guitar-driven instrumentals in the vein of their first CD "The Tenth Degree". With a wide stylistic pallette which includes surf, contemporary jazz, Latin, and swing, the second release from this San Jose quartet creatively and musically blends diverse elements into one killer sound. On Left Of Center, the Chris Shahin Band has added violin, trumpet and organ to the foundation of guitar, bass drums and sax to create an imaginative and musical blend of stlyes and sounds. Shahin's guitar playing once again anchors the music, which includes a cover of Santo and Johnny's classic "Sleepwalk". Fans of guitar-laden, innovative surf music will need to have a listen. Instrumental Guitar (Electric/Surf/Jazz), total running time, 56:06
