Crossroads

Jeff Berlin
Sold through Guitar Nine thru 2012

Award winning bass player Jeff Berlin writes in the liner notes about Crossroads, "Back in the '70s, fusion was hot. I had the good fortune to be in the middle of this era when it was at its peak, and I also had the great honor of playing with its most famous alumni. By recording and touring with these highly respected players, my reputation as a bass player spread and ultimately led to his being signed as a solo artist. "Champion" and "Pump It!" were the first two results of that signing; this CD includes most of the tunes from those records. Scott Henderson, Neal Schon, Frank Gambale and Paul Gilbert each contributed stunning guitar work, "Champion" being Henderson's first recording session, and "Pump It!" being Gambale's first session as well. All in all, these tunes capture the attitude and feeling I had about music over ten years ago. There's some really exciting historical and musical elements going on here."
