Have you ever wondered what the future of jazz music might sound like? The London based trio TROYKA is well known for pushing the boundaries of traditional musical concepts. TROYKA released their second album “Moxxy” to critical acclaim in August 2012. In May 2013, the trio finished recording their third album "Ornithophobia", which will be released in 2014. We interviewed Chris Montague, TROYKA’s guitarist, and wanted to learn more about the process of recording the new album, his influences and his participation in the GUITARMAGEDON trio.

Exemplary musicianship, powerhouse vocals and great songs: MARAGOLD is the name of US-American guitarist Greg Howe’s new band project. Greg is one of the world’s most outstanding guitarists. Records such as “Hyperacuity” or his 2008 release “Sound Proof” have forever changed the way we think instrumental fusion and rock music. For MARAGOLD’s debut, Howe has teamed up with his long-time mates Kevin Vecchione and drummer Gianluca Palmieri to release an album that has the potential to top this year’s "Best Rock Album of the Year" polls. GuitarMania interviewed Greg and wanted to learn more about the band name, how long it took to write the songs, and his new signature amp.
