After decades of publishing award-winning instructional materials for musicians of all skill levels, Mel Bay Publications has entered the recording industry with the launch of Mel Bay Records and the jazz-oriented Guitar Sessions label.
William Bay directs the company his father founded and initiated the new venture:
“CD production is not a completely new idea to Mel Bay. To date we have produced over a thousand different instructional CDs. Since so many of our writers are truly great performers, we thought the next logical step was to produce their studio recordings. The Guitar Sessions label of Mel Bay Records features some of the world’s finest jazz guitarists at their hard-driving best.â€
