Details:
In âAir Patternsâ, acoustic guitarist/composer David Pritchard creates a mosaic of musical landscapes accomplished through the intricate layering of guitar tracks. The hypnotic, mesmerizing musical landscapes are characterized by shifting overlapping meters and sparkling melodic patterns.

Pritchardâs jazz and fusion roots inform many of the pieces on âAir Patterns.â David has performed with vibist Gary Burton, ex-Mother of Invention Don Preston, pianist Billy Childs as well as recording two fusion jazz albums under his own name for Inner City Records which also featured Patrice Rushen and Freddie Hubbard. Pritchardâs current work is also featured on the latest CD âSpinâ by the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet.

In âAir Patternsâ, Pritchard has moved his musical course out of the jazz realm and into a new and unique acoustic musical environment. âAir Patternsâ makes for an exquisite listening experience not to be missed. Here is praise for âAir Patternsâ as well as for one of his other releases âUnassigned Territory.â
