Yesterday's News - 2979

Review As usual Hogan arranges some of the songs into medleys . . . and as usual he plays them with consumate skill. -- Paul Comeau, Dirty Linen Product Description Yesterday's News—a collection of songs from great composers like Ellington, Gershwin, Fats Waller, Rodgers and Hart and many others—was the third Neil Hogan album to hit the scene. For the ragtime, blues and jazz tunes, Neil combined the chords and melody lines of these old standards and let the songs play themselves, capturing the history and mood while giving new life to legends. Also on the album are three of Neil's original compositions which highlight the diversity of his musical influence and execution. About the Artist One of the Northern California's premier fingerstyle guitarists and composers, Neil Hogan's unique style reflects the influence of classical, ragtime and traditional music, as well as the folk and rock eras. He teaches guitar at Joplin & Sweeney Music in Los Gatos, California, and also helps run the Los Gatos Guitar Gallery, a shop dedicated to carrying handcrafted and vintage guitars. Neil has recently performed with two of his major musical influences, John Renbourn and Al Stewart. He resides in Los Gatos with his wife, Nani, and their three children, Cory, Rebecca, and Elizabeth.
