Guitar Virtuoso, David Andersen, Salutes Jazz Pioneers With New Jazz Album

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ PLA Media) David Andersen, the �Ambassador to Music City,� is back with Revelations, his fourth Jazz album. This album underscores The Revelations Jazz Band and features Andersen and is a salute to true Jazz pioneers such as Louis Armstrong, WC Handy and Jelly Roll Morton.

Revelations is a new take on classic Jazz. The 11 song collection, which is Andersen�s first Jazz album since 2007, was recorded in front of a live audience in Anaheim, California in order to capture the true spirit of traditional Jazz. �When I brought the discs back to Nashville and first listened to them, I knew we had something special,� smiles Andersen. �We really captured that great sense of feeling and being there.�

These songs were performed by the Revelations Band and include Crescent City classics, such as Royal Garden Blues and Bourbon Street Parade and King Oliver�s Dallas Blues and Aunt Hagar�s Blues. A masterful display of collective improvisation, Revelations showcases classic hits while highlighting the new improvisational freedom of today�s Jazz.

Andersen solos on guitar on almost every cut and adds his rhythm work to the mix with flair. He has had a longtime dream come true in going back to the roots of American popular music and finding so much joy and feeling in the songs of the forefathers of Jazz. �To get a chance to create this joyful music with this great band was truly a revelation,� says Andersen.

As a child music genius reared in Long Beach, California, Andersen could play music before he could even talk. An accomplished songwriter and proficient on multiple instruments, Andersen�s music is currently being played on WAMB-FM. Each day, he gives every new friend he meets at the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum his signature guitar pick and a challenge..."remember why they came to Nashville and to take time to enjoy the music they came here to find." Indeed, and with a love and deep-seated respect for Music City, Andersen not only remembers but lives and breathes the music of Nashville every day.
