Julien Kasper - hot blues/rock guitar

[David Mason]

A old acquaintance of mine has finally released his first solo CD - "Flipping Time" by Julien Kasper. I knew him back in the 80's when he was the guitarist for the now-legendary Florida blues-rock band Crosscut Saw, but he has since gone on to study at North Texas State and the University of Miami music programs. He is now an assistant professor at Berklee School of Music in Boston, but he sure doesn't play like a college teacher - lots of fire left. If you like rock/blues/jazz guitar in the vein of Jeff Beck or Eric Johnson, check it out. He has also recorded with Bruce Katz and Pat Ramsey, and plays extensively in the Boston area.
