Not only is Jerry Jennings a virtuoso playing his guitar, he’s also an author of books for his own publishing company and a teacher at his guitar workshops. Jennings plays guitar since his teenage years.

He teamed up with the legendary Ronnie Montrose (Edgar Winter, Montrose) and has re-issued his album Shortcut To The Center. The CD was already being sold back in the mid 00’s at Jenning’s concerts, but never officially released.

Montrose is not only the producer of the album but he also shows in several songs, that even well over the age of 60, he can still teach these whippernsnappers a thing or two.

They call their project Rock-Jazz Fusion, however, there are several more styles you can hear influencing these songs. Sometimes even a little Reggae or just some good, old, classic rock.

The album contains ten tracks, all without (in this case unnecessary) lyrics, enabling the listener to enjoy the virtuosity of Jennings’ or Montrose’s mean guitars. My favorites are the opener Observation, then Rule 14 and finally Feeding Time.
