“From loping funk to boogaloo to earthy blues shuffles, with a haunting ballad, a beautiful samba and an urgently swinging post-bop romp thrown into the mix—along with touches of classical, flamenco and zydeco — jazz guitarist Grant Geissman covers all the bases with authority on BOP! BANG! BOOM!” — from the liner notes by Bill Milkowski
