Vanishing Mist "2008" (Sadetar Records)

This is the third solo offering by Sal, and it shows some of the most radical growth in Sal's writing and arranging palette to date. For Sal, it's not just about planting a melody line against a few clever chord changes and odd-time signatures. Far beyond that, Sal has really deeply considered all his sonic and textural resources and found very creative ways for them to interact with one another, much the way a great composer/orchestrator like Duke Ellington or Gil Evans would, but in this case, with an entirely different mindset and vocabulary.

Personnel includes:
Sal DiFusco - Guitar
Dino Govon - Tenor Sax
Mike Mangini - Drums
Joe Santerre - Bass
Eguie Castrillo - Percussion
Daniel McClain - Voice
Jordan Orvosh - Keyboards
Casey Schereuerell - Drums

Produced by: Sal DiFusco
Engineers include: Jon Chase, Sal DiFusco

Principally recorded at Chase productions and Sadetar Studios.
Mastered by Toby Mountain at Northeast Digital.

 
 

Great Exploits "2002" (Sadetar Records)

In a world increasingly populated by "fast guitar shredders" who start to sound indistinguishable after a while, it's refreshing to hear something like Boston-based guitarist Sal DiFusco's Great Exploits that dares to do something a bit different. Each song carries beautifully crafted melody lines that cannot be ignored. Better still, the sequence of tunes moves at a brisk pace, there is never a dull or snoozy moment to be found.

Personnel includes:
Sal DiFusco - Guitar
Mike Mangini - Drums
Joe Santerre - Bass
Pat Loomis - Alto Sax

Produced, Engineered Mixed and Mastered by Tom Waltz at Waltz Audio Boston, Mass.

 
 

Nevertheless "2000" (Sadetar Records)

With the release of Nevertheless, Boston-based guitar instrumentalist Sal DiFusco establishes himself as a vital new force on the post 90's electric guitar scene. Acknowledging the influences that both Jeff Beck and Al Dimeola have on his own work. DiFusco takes flight with a number of fine, original, melodic guitar instrumentals that ignite and soar at the same time. The album features excellent support players such as Mike Mangini (ex-Steve Vai) on drums and Joe Santerre (bass) while the addition of Sal's wife Jen DiFusco, who adds spoken word vocals on two tracks, is reminiscent of Anette Peacock's on the first Bill Bruford solo album. Clearly mixing the melodic savvy of Euro-rock guitar great Jan Akkerman with the high tech wizardry of say Allan Holdsworth. DiFusco comes up with an innovative new sound. A spirited CD filled with DiFusco's spectacular electric guitar pyrotechnics, Nevertheless sizzles from start to finish.

Personnel includes:
Sal DiFusco - Guitar
Mike Mangini - Drums
Joe Santerre - Bass
Casey Schereuerell - Drums
Keith Reed - Keyboards
Paul Stiller - Keyboards
Dan Foote - Percussion
Jen DiFusco - Voice

Produced, Engineered Mixed and Mastered by Tom Waltz at Waltz Audio Boston, Mass.

  Boston Jazz Anthology #1 1995 (Vee Records)

This collection represents a polished version of the Boston jazz scene. A wide variety of jazz styles are represented, from vocal to bop to fusion. The anthology does seem to focus on the most commercial, derivative bands in Boston -- every song seems to mimic the style of some great of jazz history instead of charting out new directions, but the result is a very listenable, radio-friendly collection that has something to appeal to everyone.
