Defend The Orphan

PapaMichael
Sold through Guitar Nine thru 2012

Guitarist Anthony PapaMichael's second CD, Defend The Orphan, is another all instrumental affair showcasing his formidable skills with the guitar, composition, production and engineering. This jazz/fusion offering features almost two dozen talented musicians contributing to the overall sonic wonder. You'll hear influences in PapaMichael's style and arrangements of everyone from Earl Klugh and Al DiMeola to the great Joe Pass (with whom Anthony was fortunate enough to study with). Highlights on Defend The Orphan include the blazing "Damn Yankee", the Latin/Indian/Arabic-tinged "Charmers", "Push A Little" (which includes bass, Moog, trumpet and guitar solos), the memorable "From Worlds Apart", and the jazz guitar showpiece "There's A Place". Additionally, one dollar from the sale of every CD is earmarked toward helping enhance the lives of orphans nationwide.

PapaMichael is in the musicians directory — hear them on Apple Music.
