Ken has a long history on the New York and Long Island musical scene.He's been in many original rock groups, jazz fusion projects, and a professional sideman through the years.The roots of his guitar style, came from many of the classic rock players. Later in his career he gravitated towards jazz. He went on to study with renown guitarist and teacher Billy Bauer. During this time he immersed himself in the world of jazz and composition. It is this musical journey through rock and jazz that has come to define Ken's guitar playing and writing. His debut album ACROSS the BOARD is a perfect example of this journey. It showcases 11 great tunes, all composed by Ken Talve. Ken enlisted the help of fellow musicians, Mike Frost on Bass, Brian Dunn on Drums, Tim Regusis on Keyboards and David Mann on Saxophone who has worked with Tower of Power, Paul Simon, Chieli Minucci, Chuck Loeb and many more artists, to make this album become a reality. Ken would like to personally thank those who helped in this endeavor. Ken's album ACROSS the BOARD can be purchased at CDBABY. Audio samples are available at CDBABY. Check it out, you won't be disappointed!! You can also hear Ken's guitar skills on Mike Frost's solo album called "Tears Of Joy". Mike is a outstanding bassist from the NY area. Mike's album has 12 great tunes of original fusion music. Sound samples will be available soon!! Always check for updates. Thanks Ken Talve
