Los Angeles (PRWEB) July 15, 2003 - A new summer jazz album titled G-Fire (Guitars on Fire)includes 4 of the most accomplished guitarists in the world. Longtime guitarist friends Morris O'Connor (Steve Wonder, Gladys Knight), Kevin Chokan (Diana Ross, Jeffery Osborne), Miguel Mega(Brazilian Jazz Artist), and Vernon Neilly(Johnny Guitar Watson, Teena Marie)have joined together to showcase their talents. For over twenty years, they have toured and recorded consistently with some of the biggest names in the business, but this is the first time that they have released their own material.
The project titled G-Fire an outstanding combination of smooth jazz and jazz fusion. The first single "B- Town" by Morris O'Connor demonstrates the talent of this guitarist. The strong melody and smooth guitar stylings makes this a favorite among jazz radio stations.
Special guests on the album include Bassist Juan Nelson (Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals) on "Flight To Ecstasy" and "Moonlight in Paradise" by Vernon Neilly. Morris O'Connor does an excellent interpretation of Freddie Hubbard's "Little Sunflower", while Miguel explores the length of jazz fusion with "Wooded", and Kevin Chokan gets funky on "Do Da".
