Bruce Forman, acclaimed a “prodigious talent” by Down Beat and Bill Board, has developed his dazzling guitar signature over 20 plus years as a professional musician. Embracing the spirit of musical freedom expressed by bebop wizards Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Wes Montgomery and others, Bruce has cultivated what Option Magazine calls “a truly original style”.
