“Critic’s Choice 2022: The Best Albums of the Year”
MUSIC
ABOUT
Twenty five years after establishing himself as an emotionally impactful straight ahead guitarist with his popular ensemblePursuance, multi-faceted guitarist Ron Bosse pulls a fascinating, freewheeling 180, getting into an funkified, explosive and uber-melodic groove collaborating like never before with legendary keyboardist, composer and producer Jeff Lorber on his epic high octane (and perfectly titled!) new album Burning Room Only.
The fun and fiery, no holds barred approach Bosse and Lorber stir up with the likes of Bob Mintzer, Bob Reynolds, BenShepherd, Jimmy Haslip, MonoNeon, Hadrien Feraud, Gary Novak and David Mann is only the foundational part of the larger story the guitarist is creating for himself here. Fulfilling GuitarPlayer Magazine’s early assessment of him as a “master in the making” like never before, Bosse finally gives himself the perfect spotlight to showcase his potent rhythm lead guitar chops with some of the most colorful and creative melodic lines and improvisations of his career.

“I highly recommend Burning Room Only to anyone that loves world class musicianship.” – Luke Wolk, Radio Guitar One
“I honestly cannot overstate what a good listen it is. It has all the elements that make it stand out from the sea of good guitar players that work within the many subgenera of jazz. The interplay between the musicians is as good as it gets and the production is flawless. Ron’s guitar is a masterclass in playing for the song while still pushing the boundary far enough to make his very capable voice be heard.” Luke Wolk, Radio Guitar One

“Bosse’s guitar brings a fiery edge to tracks that define the essence of fusion: jazz improvisation meets rock and roll abandon.” Jazz Guitar Today
“Fulfilling Guitar Player Magazine’s early assessment of him as a “master in the making” like never before, Bosse finally gives himself the perfect spotlight to showcase his potent lead guitar chops with some of the most colorful and creative melodic lines and improvisations of his career.”Jonathan Widman, Contributor to Jazziz Magazine
“This radiantly flourishing new recording opens on the heartbeat of the album, the groovy, free flowing funk of ‘Bossman’ (his longtime nickname) and the majestically intricate ‘Power Drive’… my goodness, just listening to his fingers do the talking makes me exhausted!”Dr. Eunice Moseley, Exclusive Magazine
“Ron graces this recording with his deeply funky, groovelated chops, alongside other genre-busting creators, including Bob Mintzer, Jimmy Haslip, Jeff Lorber, Bob Reynolds and Gary Novak, showing why he’s been the choice of Dave Liebman, Mike Stern and Norman Brown, and received glowing accolades from DownBeat, JazzTimes, Guitar Player Magazine, The Boston Globe and The New York Times.”WBGO Radio
“You will understand it yourself, but the editors of Paris-Move and Bayou Blue Radio have not taken long to grant the status of “indispensable” to this album.”Thierry Docmac, Correspondent in the USA, Bayou Blue News – Bayou Blue Radio – Paris-Move
“Guitarist Ron Bosse delivers a sleek and soulful collection of originals with an all star cast of LA studio studs. He must have just gone into the Baked Potato one night and raided the joint, as the album included BP regulars like keyboardists Jeff Lorber, drummer Gary Novak, bassist Hadriend Feraud or Jimmy Haslip, and saxists Bob Reynolds and Bob Mintzer.”Jazz Weekly
