Winner of the SF Weekly Music Award for “Best Jazz Artist” and the Oakland Chamber of Commerce “Artist of the Year” Award, San Francisco Bay area jazz guitarist Terrence Brewer is back with a new album, a new band, and a fresh sound! QuintEssential, produced by Strong Brew Music and recorded at the world famous Fantasy Studios, is the highly anticipated follow up to Brewer’s debut records, The Calling: Volume One and Volume Two (April 2006). As one of the last recordings at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA before the studio closed its doors in September 2007, QuintEssential is a rare treasure. “Brewer has a natural, inviting sound that instantly transports you back to the heyday of classic jazz guitar…” writes David Rubien (San Francisco Chronicle feature, March 20, 2007). “(Brewer is) A naturally gifted player with a beautiful, warm tone and a melodic penchant, his playing is eminently pleasing…” penned Bill Milkowski (Jazz Times May 2007). The San Francisco Chronicle included Brewer in a short list of “whom to stalk” in Bay Area jazz in 2007.
