Completing the Current Circuit with Fuze
by Phil DiPietro
Guitarist David “Fuze" Fiuczynski has remained somewhat of an incongruously well-kept secret despite his staggeringly complete resume, forward-thinking conceptual approach, and absolutely spine-chilling command of guitar technique.

by R.J. DeLuke
Sometimes is seems that artists like Sonny Fortune get lost. Not lost in his creative mission. But lost in the public eye.Fortune has that problem of being caught in between. He’s middle aged.
