"Bruce Forman is a gem, a guitarist who I have been following from the beginning of his professional career. Having read about him 20 or so years ago in Guitar Player mag, I actually found his "In Transit" and later his "Full Circle" releases on Guam. I might even have his entire catalog. Bruce Forman's canon is very stable, all releases are of exceptional quality, both musically and production. Check him out sometime, he has a nice web site, and is really dedicated to the instrument and to his music. You won't be disappointed."

"Perrenial Monterey Jazz Festival favorite Bruce Forman is a musician who deserves to be heard by a much wider audience. A powerfully inventive guitarist, who conducts an awe-inspiring amount of jazz classes, he's obliquely influenced by Wes Montgomery with his own tone and technique.



Truthfully I have only heard one song from this CD, the title track "Dedication", which has a vague similarity to the old warhorse "Raincheck". I heard it on my cable TV's "Music Choice" jazz channel and it stopped me in my tracks. And it is WONDERFUL!!! I can't say enough for this guitarist and this performance has placed this CD on my Amazon.com Wish List of things that I'm giving myself for Christmas. Check out Bruce, he's a great guitarist. Five Stars for "Dedication"!"
