Hope the holiday season finds you happy and feeling great! We are looking forward to the official release of the new CD "Hear and Now" sometime early in the New Year along with some really nice reviews courtesy of Just Jazz Guitar, Jazziz, Downbeat and other great magazines plus endorsements from George Benson, Sid Bernstein (who saw us at our last gig at Creole), radio personalities all over the country and others. A very exciting time for Lou Volpe Jazz Guitar! The CD is now available at http://louvolpejazz.com/buy/ and will soon be at Jazz Guitar's CD Baby website and Banes and Noble stores. More info soon.
