風格近似"His original compositions exist in a musical realm far from the all-too-prevalent studied, academic exercises that often come off technically perfect, but lacking in interpretation. Happily, Kosak, who holds an advanced degree in classical guitar and musicology, stays grounded with his love of traditional music roots. A line from Kosaks web site sums his work up so nicely it bears repeating: it "suggests Segovia playing the music of Robert Johnson, while thinking about Leo Kottke". His technique is sound, his joy for composition and exploring musical styles is infectious, and his arrangements are pleasant. This is fun and enjoyable stuff." Fred Kraus - Minor 7th Internet Review

   關於 Jerry Kosak
Jerry Kosak is a guitarist/composer performing original music for solo guitar. Drawing from a great diversity of musical experiences, his music and playing blend contrasting idioms to create a fresh image of traditional music. Blues, classical, rock, and jazz styles have all been influential in producing a great reflection of many different styles, according to Kevin Barnes of KBEM radio.

The pathway of Jerrys music has included formal study of the guitar as well as rock, jazz, and blues bands. He was awarded a Master of Music in Classical Guitar/Musicology and taught guitar and music history at Northern Arizona University. The result of academia overlapped with the blues suggests Segovia playing the music of Robert Johnson, while thinking about Leo Kottke.

Currently, Jerry is a member of the faculty at both McNally-Smith College of Music, in St. Paul and MacPhail Center for Music, in Minneapolis. Jerry was the first two-time winner of the Zeitgeist Eric Stokes Song Contest, receiving the award in 1999 and 2000. He has also received grants from The Jerome Foundation and MacPhail Center for Music. Jerry has opened for Don Ross and has performed on shows with Tommy Emmanuel, Bob Brozman, Mike Dowling, Catfish Keith, Steve James, Woody Mann, Peter Lang, and Pat Donohue.

According to Billy McLaughlin, Jerry is a powerful and colorful guitarist who makes me want to practice or just listen with a big smile on my face. His first CD, Many Dances, is a resume of Jerrys versatility, in that it demonstrates the broad range of his skills as composer and instrumentalist/vocalist. Its like putting a multi-disc player on shuffle in that one tune is classical, the next is delta blues, and another is fingerstyle. The most amazing aspect is that each piece sounds authentic to the specific genre! His new CD, Sounds Like This, presents twelve intensely compelling compositions Minneapolis Star-Tribune. This new music skillfully balances the subtleties in tone and dynamics with rhythmic and percussive intensity. Peter Finger of Acoustic Music calls Jerry a very good guitarist! and Dean Magraw says Jerrys music is fabulous!...all the tunes are happening!

Jerry, you sound great. Thanks for adding! We should set up a show. It would be a great contrast that would work well since we're both acoustic.

Hey, I'm not sure if you remember me, but I took a master class/question and answer session with you at Duquesne University's Guitar and Bass Workshop last summer. I bought your "Sounds Like This" album, which I really enjoyed. I was wondering where I could get some sheet music for your works.

Thanks,
-Brett
