Make It So

It's rare that you find a bassist with the guitar skills of California fusionist Al Garcia, but he's got the whole package. Guitar Player Magazine was moved to say, "Alfred's unique composing style incorporates classical elements with fusion chops, the end result sounding like a cross between Beethoven and Allan Holdsworth's I.O.U. His bass playing should appeal to fans of Jeff Berlin ... his guitar style might attract fans of Holdsworth." Reviewer Scott Yanow enthused, "The music overall could be called fusion, but it is pretty wide-ranging as far as moods and grooves go. The leader's colorful playing, the wide textures that he creates, and the very professional feel of the privately produced CD, Make It So, is quite impressive." A really fine effort - well worth picking up.
