Blend the styles of Mike Stern, Pat Martino and Stevie Ray Vaughn, plus throw in a little Andy Summers and U2's "The Edge" for good measure you just might end up with a rather unique contemporary jazz guitarist!! Andy Rothstein has played guitar since the age of 13, and studied with such jazz greats as Steve Khan, Kevin Eubanks and Ted Dunbar. His 2009 release WIT OF THE STAIRCASE fuses straight ahead bebop with funk and rock stylings, and features a dynamic lineup including Manolo Badrena (percussion), Tom Hammer (keyboards), Steve Jankowski (trumpet), Erik Lawrence (saxophone), Pete Levin (organ/piano), Tony Senatore (bass), Andy Snitzer (saxophone), Lew Soloff (trumpet), Luther Rix (drums), Van Romaine (drums) and Tom Timko (saxophone).

"...Great Sound, super Musicians, solid Songwriting,and Andy plays his guitar with taste in every style he covers on this cd...." – Kevin McCabe - The Westwood Music Group

Hey ANdy, Just wanted to remind your friends about my Christmas Album. "A Retro Cool Bossa Nova Christmas" CD FINALLY! A Christmas album for hipsters!!!!!!!
Picture a sunny December afternoon in Hollywood, 1963. Dean Martin is mixing a batch of martinis for Frank and the boys and throws this groovy bossa nova record on the turntable. Frank says "Groovy sounds, cats. The guitar player is kooky!"
Full of sophisticated, lucid jazz guitar soloing over a retro, cool, lounge, bossa nova, silky vibe. A CD for people who would not ordinarily buy Christmas CDs.
Check it out at CD Baby: http://cdbaby.com/cd/zummo
While U are there please check out my new CD“ Swinging Guitar Sounds of Young America”
