Press
“The first batch of chords is from author and master musician Wayne Fugate whose experience in bluegrass, jazz, and classical styles, having benefited from the tutelage of Mike Marshall and Barry Mitterhoff, has brought him to stage and studio with some of acoustic music’s finest, including Tony Trischka, Mark Cosgrove, and the New York Mandolin Orchestra. We’d like to let the cat out of the bag and tell you about a project he has in the oven at Mel Bay, he’s taken about 35 Bach keyboard pieces and arranged them for instruments of equal voice (two mandolins, two violins, etc.) The bulk of the work is done except for the accompaniment CD and he’s enlisted some pretty great players to join him in the recording. Perhaps a CD for commercial release will come out of it, too.”
