Music For Guitar

Reviewer Winthrop Bedford writes in Jazz Improv magazine about Bill McCormick's album, "Composer and publisher Bill McCormick has assembled four superb guitarists to perform thirteen different original compositions on Music For Guitar. The well-crafted and thoughtful compositions that appear on this CD also appear in print among the eleven books and folios published by M Pub. This CD is an eminently listenable album that features solo and duo performances. "A Church Named The Blues" is very much what the name states - add in McCormick's own clever twists to make it more than a simple straight blues. Ken Hatfield serves up a delightful rendition of "The Seacoast Drive", a light and airy bossa-based tune, featuring percussionist Steve Kroon providing rhythmic accompaniment on bongos. The same duo offers another sweet performance on the slower but no less compelling McCormick composition "The Nights Get So Cool Here". This album is relatively short. But, it offers fine performances of unique original tunes by quality guitar players."
