Title: Acoustic Guitar Summit

Terry Robb, Mark Hanson, Doug Smith, Paul Chasman

The Acoustic Guitar Summit is made up of four of the best acoustic fingerstyle guitarists in the Pacific Northwest. Terry Robb has recorded over a dozen albums, and performed on national TV on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. He recently won a "Muddy Waters Award" as the top acoustic blues guitarist in the Northwest. Mark Hanson is internationally known for his more than two dozen guitar instruction manuals and videos, four of which Acoustic Guitar Magazine recently named to its Top 100 Acoustic Music Publications list. Doug Smith's music has been heard on the soundtracks of "Moll Flanders" and "Twister," as well as on syndicated TV programs and the "Martha Stewart Show"! Paul Chasman is a composer of modern classical-repertoire pieces, and a monster ragtimer.
Together the group performs a wide variety of music, from originals to classics like "Bye Bye Blues," "The Water Is Wide" and "Lady Madonna." They also mix solo and duet performances into their concerts. The group's debut CD, entitled Acoustic Guitar Summit, was released in October, 1998. This past November the group performed on NPR's West Coast Live national radio program.

Title: Summit Meeting

Summit Meeting

Acoustic Guitar Summit

The Acoustic Guitar Summit is made up of four of the country's best acoustic fingerstyle guitarists. Their music has been heard on national television (Martha Stewart Living, Late Night with Conan O'Brien), major films (Twister, Moll Flanders) and National Public Radio.

Together the Acoustic Guitar Summit--Mark Hanson, Terry Robb, Doug Smith, and Paul Chasman--performs a wide range of music. A blistering original may lead into a tightly interwoven arrangement of a classic ballad like "What a Wonderful World" or "You Make Me Feel Brand New." A gypsy jazz tune like Django Reinhardt's "Nuages" may lead into their stunning version of the folk classic "The Water Is Wide."

This CD includes two Mark Hanson originals: Summit Meeting and Spouting Horn, plus the following: Nuages (Django Reinhardt), Muskrat Ramble, You Make Me Feel, Brand New Mystery Train, Embryonic Journey, Good Question, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, Mr. Sandman, Would You Like To Play the Guitar, Sultans of Swing, What A Wonderful World.
