Transition is the third, long awaited, follow up album to 2002's "The Second Coming", from the project studio of LA based guitarist Neal Nagaoka. As on his second album, Nagaoka again teams up with guitarists David Martone and Brian Poulsen on the last track, "All Night Wrong". The trio trade furious solos over the fusiony sounding track. Nine other instrumental tracks are also featured, laced with outstanding guitar work, boundless energy, surprising grooves and top-notch solos.
Recorded in San Antonio, Texas in 1993 with producer Michael Morales, Thrills & Chills, Ohio based guitarist Neil Zaza's second CD, shows his development as a songwriter and melodic instrumentalist. The focus of this CD is simple: great songs with great playing. Songs such as "Melodia", "Untitled", and "Tobaber" are still staples in his live show every night. Along for this melodic journey is his longtime bandmates Chris Ceja (drums) and Doug Johns (bass) as well as a guest appearance by Blake Sakamoto of the Dan Reed Network.
