TERRY WOLLMAN

BIMINI (NOVA 8706) "We're bombarded daily with stressful

and violent information, so I wanted to create music that would

help people to escape from that negativity says Terry Wollman

of his first album. Although not as sedate as New Age music,

Wollman's music focuses on the melody, supported by intriguing

harmonic changes. Written and arranged solely by Wollman,

"Bimini" is the musical self-portrait of a talented, young guitarist.

rendition of "How High the Moon" will have you singin' and

dancin'! Backed by Victor Feldman, Neil Stubenhaus, Vinnie
