Guitarist Doug Markley's first release for Visual Musik Philly Fillet is loaded with his driving, melodic and sometimes humorous fusion lines that are delightfully unpretentious and of an emotional intensity that is rare for music of any style. As tight and as well-constructed as his arrangements are, Markley still possesses a great deal of openness and space for his solo flights of artistry. Philly Fillet will appeal to fans of Earl Klugh, George Benson's instrumental work, and Larry Carlton, as the thirteen instrumental tracks ewoke positive emotions and sensuous energy. You'll find a top-notch supporting cast of musicians here as well -- Ted Baker (keyboards, who plays on the most recent Steely Dan album), Bill Butryn (sax) and Chris Jones (drums), just to name a few. Get ready to sit back and smile. Instrumental Guitar (Electric/Smooth Jazz), total running time, 62:57 - Doug Markley @ iTunes!
