Hello everyone!
Ken Bonfield has a new CD (released April 7). It's called Homecoming and
here's what Billboard had to say:

Billboard, May 2, 1998
Ken Bonfield
Homecoming
PRODUCERS: Ted Blaisdell, Ken Bonfield, Devin James McBeth
BWE 0166

This is a haunting collection of introspective vignettes and moods from
this journeyman guitarist. Ken Bonfield jettisons the lite-jazz rhythm
section of previous albums and creates an intimate chamber quintet with
fellow guitarist Grant Geissman, bassist Michael Manring, percussionist
Efrain Toro, and violinist Jerry Goodman, This all-star cast, known for its
pyrotechnic chops, is surprisingly restrained in Bonfield's evocative
compositions. The players amplify the guitarists warm, folk-like melodies
with elusive shadows and bass-reliefs on "Mirage," "Floating," "Dancing
With Shadows," and a cover of Duane Allman's "Little Martha." "Homecoming"
is a subtle and inviting album that keeps
revealing its charms over time. Contact: 800-654-1686
