From Niagara Falls, New York, to the world, with eyes wide open and a list of experience, and experiences that are staggering even for the most seasoned of players.
The mastery of guitarist Wes Montgomery tickled his earliest interest in jazz. Mentored by Tommy Tedesco, Rotella’s artistry was gilded. You can hear his music-making in, and on, a stellar list of television shows and in film scores. His is an intense light, giving jazz guitar and jazz in general an unique splash of colors in the sound; you get magnetic swinging standards, originals that capture your heart and ballads from the heart. Rotella’s music flows like a current taking everything along for the ride. It is still as crispy fresh as if just from the tree, not a jaded note in the mix.
Niagara Falls, New York, to the world indeed, let this current sweep you away.
