With his new recording, Burning Room Only, Boston guitarist Ron Bosse has the perfect response for those who maintain that a devotee of straight-ahead jazz cannot embrace other forms. Ron, whose former release Pursuance brought attention to his skills, graces this recording with his deeply funky, groovelated chops, alongside other genre-busting creators, including Bob Mintzer, Jimmy Haslip, Jeff Lorber, Bob Sheppard and Gary Novak, guaranteed to move your head like the pigeons in the park, showing why he's been the choice of Dave Liebman, Mike Stern and Norman Brown, and received glowing accolades from DownBeat, JazzTimes, Guitar Player Magazine, The Boston Globe and The New York Times.
From Monday, Dec. 26 through Friday, Dec. 30, one cut from Bosse’s Burning Room Only album will be featured each morning on the New Day, New Play spotlight on my Daybreak show.
