Blend the styles of Mike Stern, Pat Martino and Stevie Ray Vaughn, plus throw in a little Andy Summers and U2's "The Edge" for good measure you just might end up with a rather unique contemporary jazz guitarist!! Andy Rothstein has played guitar since the age of 13, and studied with such jazz greats as Steve Khan, Kevin Eubanks and Ted Dunbar. His 2009 release WIT OF THE STAIRCASE fuses straight ahead bebop with funk and rock stylings, and features a dynamic lineup including Manolo Badrena (percussion), Tom Hammer (keyboards), Steve Jankowski (trumpet), Erik Lawrence (saxophone), Pete Levin (organ/piano), Tony Senatore (bass), Andy Snitzer (saxophone), Lew Soloff (trumpet), Luther Rix (drums), Van Romaine (drums) and Tom Timko (saxophone).
"...For fans of rock fusion and progressive jazz there's plenty of superb guitar work on Voodoo Tone to make it well worth your while." - Robert Silverstein - 20th Century Guitar Magazine
"...Rothstein takes “Giant Steps” in making himself a known factor in the world of jazz-rock-fusion six-string wizardry..." – Keith "MuzikMan" Hannaleck-http://www.muzikreviews.com
"...Great Sound, super Musicians, solid Songwriting,and Andy plays his guitar with taste in every style he covers on this cd...." – Kevin McCabe - The Westwood Music Group
