"FINALLY,
along comes Music for People, a slew of different guitars, echoes of a dozen
genres, but not the least disconnected or buffet. There exists a loving
loneliness in this work, a heartbreaking tonality and compassion. Keith's
virtuosity is undeniable, but there is no hint of pyrotechnics here, nothing
extra; knowledge never eclipses emotion. The recording is simply beautiful. New
York taxis roar, Keith breathes between phrases, overdubs click -- all
haphazard dimensionality as time bends and rules break. Deep
stuff. If you listen on headphones, your loved one approaches,
presses his/her face against yours, says, "what IS that?" It's one of
my favorite records. PEOPLE, Keith Ganz seems to've
composed a record for us, and tirelessly in spite. - Paul Curreri, City Salvage Records, singer/songwriter/guitarist
extraordinaire
All About Jazz review of Music
for People:
“…the sheer heart-on-sleeve
intimacy of the disc enables Ganz to work a certain kind of magic. “Long
Goodbye” is a minor masterpiece…”
Minor 7th Acoustic Guitar
magazine review of Music for People:
“you'll be granted passage to some
of the loveliest compositions I've ever heard be self-produced by an
independent artist. Ganz' halting phrases are like tentative steps into a realm
of sanctity”

Dear Jazz Guitarist,
Do you wish your lines had as much
fluidity and momentum as a horn player’s?
Do you wish you could play bebop without feeling boxed in by the chords or by
the fretboard?
Do you wish you could play solo guitar with the freedom of a pianist and
without struggle?
Do you wish you could connect melodic lines through unrelated modern polychords?
Do you wish you could hear better?
Do you wish you could play a duo gig with a sax player or vocalist and make it
really swing without having to walk bass lines all night?
DO YOU WISH YOU WERE MORE SATISFIED WITH YOUR PLAYING?
To inquire about lessons just email, I’m happy to
answer any questions.
