Al Garcia: Progressive Jazz/Rock Fusion

"...this is a great record, featuring beautiful guitar tones and often-breathtaking playing from beginning to end."
- Guitar Player Magazine (Barry Cleveland )

"What great music! I love your tone and touch and the ideas are wonderful --
beautiful, creative stuff -- and on both guitar and bass! Wow!"
- Michael Manring (Bassist Extraordinaire)

"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."
- Guitar Player Magazine

This is music that will take you places. Soaring guitar solos, percolating bass lines, lush synthesizer sounds, and driving percussion are featured in songs with infectious melodies and inventive arrangements. "It is the kind of music that will take you away on its storied journey."

Al Garcia is a talented multi-instrumentalist who plays 4, 5, and 6 string fretted and fretless basses and various 6 string electric and acoustic guitars. He uses a guitar synthesizer to gain access to sounds usually unavailable to string players. Al also plays a variety of percussion instruments. He uses this varied sonic palette to create a wide variety of moods and textures.

Al's musical influences include: Allan Holdsworth, Bach, Beethoven, pianist Bill Evans, Charlie Parker, Brand-X, John McLaughlin, John Coltrane, Eric Johnson, Jaco Pastorious, Black Sabbath, Sonny Rollins, Yes, Gentle Giant, Debussy, Ravel, ELP, Jeff Berlin

Al is one of the few players who double on bass and guitar to appear in Guitar Player Magazine's Spotlight column.
