"I lost my brother Michael Bloomfield some 16 years now. He was acclaimed as one of the finest guitarists of our generation. Naturally, every time I go to a club I listen for that sound. I have heard fast licks, strings bent to the breaking point, solos that had a self-aware quality to them, but no staying power.

"When I heard Donny for the first time, it was as if a conclusion from a long search had occurred. I listened intently and found the sweet tones, articulations and power so reminiscent of Michael. This was a player that took it to the edge, and yet with wonder and innocence, no guile, exposed his most vulnerable sensitivities to the audience. This was the creative process at work.

"What Donny and Michael share is the guts to play from the heart, no pandering, no jive, the real article. It is rare in this time of hype that someone emerges that has the courage to take the path less traveled. If those who want to hear sounds from this precious space are among us, I can only direct you to Donny Celenza. I promise you, you will not be disappointed."
