“Todd Mosby incorporates more influences into his composition and performance on guitar than anyone I’ve ever worked with and he doesn’t just dabble in those influences; he masters them.
His knowledge of Indian music is quickly apparent, but his virtuosity in and love of jazz is equally present; along with a graceful ease in bluegrass and folk music tradition.
Somehow he manages to synthesize these disparate elements into a singular musical voice that is unique in my experience… and “unique” is not a word I throw out easily or frequently. Sometimes, however, it’s apt; as it is with Todd Mosby. He is the real deal, his music is staggeringly beautiful. ”
“Todd Mosby creates an intriguing combination of new age, jazz and world music on his new release Eagle Mountain…”
“On pieces like “Eagle Mountain” you “experience” that majestic bird’s flight as you commune with the sky...”
