San Diego, Calif., guitarist and keyboardist Ed Stallman deftly blends the music of divergent cultures. His combination of Texas blues and soul, along with a splash of Latin jazz, is soothing, deep, and electric. It's meant for hot summer nights near crystal blue waters.

Ed Stallman's playing is just incredible. He is a true world-class player who delivers amazingly intricate, tasteful, grooves in each and every one of his instrumentals. When we think of guitar solos, we tend to think of cryptic riffs that are great to hear but hard to remember. Stallman is different. I can actually recall the melodies and I can sing along with his guitar riffs in the car! Stallman's mastery of blues/jazzy and funky guitar is second to nobody. Add to this some fabulous studio production - and you have it all. His album is a great example of a great guitar player, with rhythm to burn and an imagination to match.

You are a soulful lad. Your music speaks volumes of a deep connection to a truth that many can't even begin to fathom. That truth is the stillpoint of the quiet mind that your music embodies. This place you write from is the origin of our only hope for survival as a struggling animal on this physical continuum. Write on!

He's a one man band ! I've seen Ed perform around town for several years now and I want to tell you his music is Fabulous! He's an amazing one man band! I am most impressed by his flair for the Blues, and am glad to feature his music on Jazz 88 radio!

This is easy listening with a slight edge. Just right for a laid back evening. For the guitarists out there, this man knows how to play it! Awesome command performances as a musician! Most of us guitarists wish we were this smooth. If you like music for the sake of music to listen to, then you'll enjoy Ed Stallman.

I just listened to several songs on your Sounclick page. Love it that you are versatile and can play different styles with ease. I am a Blues fanatic, so I paid particular attention to the Blues tracks on your page. Loved them all. Great work!!!

Ed Stallman creates some of the best guitar oriented instrumantal albums I have ever heard. The emotional expression of his guitar playing is spectacular. Definitely something special. Ed really shows his versatility as an accomplished musician.

This is the blues - no ifs, ands or buts. This San Diego, California, artist cranks out some awesome guitar music from slow and gutsy to quick and artful !
