It's a Lonesome Old Town

Jeffrey Cashen’s new CD, “A Bunch of Guitars and a Cello”, features Jeff’s creative jazz compositions and arrangements for multiple guitars and cello and Jeff’s virtuosic guitar playing. Additionally, this recording uses the talents of four other world-class guitarists and the outstanding playing of cellist Cameron Sawzin. A couple songs are enhanced by percussion and bass.  Jeff’s music, while based in jazz, incorporates many styles and is unconfined by musical borders.
