David Belmont is a guitarist/composer/producer based in New York City. His work spans a broad range of genres from lush ambient soundscapes to jazz/rock-based world fusion to angular avant garde jazz. While focusing mainly on original instrumental compositions, David’s music has, at times, featured eclectic cover material; e.g., a New Age arrangement of the Rolling Stones classic Moonlight Mile on the CD "WindWater Excursions."
His latest album, "Postmodern Panache," includes tracks stylistically dedicated to Miles Davis, Michael Bloomfield, Wayne Shorter, and George Harrison (a world fusion version of the Beatles’ Blue Jay Way).
