The single remarkable album by the Modern Arts Guitar Quartet (Buzz Gravelle, Walter Marsh, James Phillipsen, Lawrence Schwedler), formed in 1990 in Los Angeles. This 1994 recording of all-original compositions for guitar quartet (most written in the 1990s) captures their brilliance and energy in seven world premiere recordings of works by quartet members as well as compositions from Nícolas Juárez and the late Theodore Norman.
