Russ Pettit: Travels of a Fallen Leaf - acoustic album




Russ Pettit: Travels of a Fallen Leaf
My music is influenced By The guitar trio who played on the album "A Friday Night in San Fransisco", Paco De Lucía, John McLaughlin & Al Di Meola, also other artist such as Strunz & Farah, Chick Corea , 70`s fusion,Progressive rock.

I have found playing this type of music gives me freedom to play the music I enjoy the most. It let's me explore other music realms while still focusing on improvisation elements from Jazz, as well as complex arrangements the progressive rock allows you you to push the elements of my music !!
