Anthony Terrezza – Kool Kat with a deliberate sound. I have listened to and watched Anthony dozens, if not hundreds of times and what I love about his style is that it is crisp, distinct, clean and fresh. So many guitarists put you on decibel overload, as if loud were the answer to a good sound. Not so with Anthony, he has a unique technique for allowing you to hear the individual notes yet the ability to blend those notes creating a great sound in any genre. Whether jazz, rock, pop or R&B, live or on CD you will enjoy the music created by one very talented individual. A true musician and artist who is one with his instrument, that is his guitar.

Terrezza’s latest CD Return To Spirit is a light jazz recording that captures all
aspects of contemporary jazz ranging from melodic rock to blues. Return to
Spirit is a light and fresh compilation showcasing the freedom of spirit and is a
reflective work on the “spirit within” that for Terrezza is “fueled, impassioned and comforted by music”. Terrezza seems to be an artist that is able to transport one to a luminous and distant place and able to take the listener to a place of peace, similar perhaps of going for a nice long run in the thin crisp mountain air or out for a sail in the cool and salty sea breeze, always ending up in peaceful paradise. Return to Spirit simply grabs hold of the moment and gives it a sense of time without end. Notable cuts on the disc include: Seventh Ray, a free-flowing mellow tune with a new age feel; Thunder, a serene and calm, yet somewhat upbeat fusion jazz like cut; Return to Spirit, the peaceful c-jazz title track; Endless Journey a cosmic light rock vocal track and Planetary Blues a vocal bluesy vibe. Return to Spirit is a disc that will allow you to relax and find the tranquil peace within.
Well, I am back in the UK now - very, very sorry to leave Laguna, California. I just wanted to thank you for making my trip just that bit more enjoyable. I just loved listening to you playing the guitar - you are so talented. if you come over to the UK please let me know as I would love to come and watch you play again. Take care and thanks again ...Cath
"Return to Spirit" CD: "Complex, Lush & Melodic! Mesmerizing in every way"

Wow! "Return to Spirit" is the second CD from guitarist, bassist, vocalist, arranger, and producer Anthony Terrezza. My first and lasting impression is one of pure amazement. This CD belongs right up there with the very BEST in the Jazz Rock genre. Anthony is truly one of the most talented musicians walking this planet and he has assembled some of the finest musicians (Dan Siegel, Jim Blair, Gina Kessler, Bryan Rosen, Frank Ortega, and Chris Daniels) to create a work of art that will take your breath away. "Return to Spirit" is extremely well performed and arranged, the production first rate. Anthony’s sense of melody and composition is a joy to behold. His ability to seamlessly blend jazz, rock, and blues into songs that are so very RIGHT ON that you never tire of listening to them. Every listening puts me in such a good place and restores my faith in the GOOD that still exists in this all too often senseless and cruel world we live in.

Anthony’s guitar playing is tremendous! Very creative, tasteful with positive messages and great grooves that takes you to a higher level of spirituality. A mix of Larry Carlton, Jeff Beck and Allan Holdsworth - with smooth vocals. Great music! Third Coast Music Hour

Just wanted to send a note to let you know I enjoyed your music a whole bunch. It was really nice to listen to, as I was in studio today throwing clay on the wheel. It really helped me get in the groove, thanks! My favorites-- Pacific Sunset, Sage, Lions Heart, Double Espresso (cool), and for sure Higher ground! Any ways thanks for the lift, keep me posted on any gigs. Thanks, and God bless <{{}}>< Lance.

GREAT! Very reflective and captivating. Excellent tones and sounds. Really captured a sense of patriotism and heroism on the behalf of the astronauts and the pride and sense of loss we feel as Americans.
