Something About Daryll Dobson!

DARYLL DOBSON - BIOGRAPHY

By the time Daryll Dobson had graduated from Old Westbury College NY in 1984, the effect of studying with Avant-Garde Multi-Instrumentalist Makanda Ken McIntyre, had set in motion, his own very unique Electric Avant-Garde Guitar Style. Daryll continued to perform in jazz/alternative clubs and record in the NYC area with his own groups and various projects including a tour with jazz legend Stanley Turrentine.

After compiling recordings from numerous sessions featuring L. Shankar, Kenny Kirkland, Kenwood Dennard, Tony “Thunder” Smith, Fernando Saunders, Bobby Thomas Jr., Delmar Brown, Ricky Sebastian & Prabuddha Phil Browne, his dream of his first solo LP “The Mind Electric” was only fully realized when he left NYC for Boca Raton, Florida. It was there that further interest in the project flourished with the contributions of New River Studios (Studio Mixing Time) and Veteran Producer Peter Yianilos (the man behind the 48 track NEVE System!)

Daryll’s next recording Studio 21, was produced by Daryll at his own “Studio 21” (1994). The studio was acoustically designed by Daryll and hosted numerous recording projects. The 1994 CD release: DARYLL DOBSON – STUDIO 21, actually hit the radio charts in the NAC format! It was originally released to publicize the MIDI programming capabilities of Daryll’s recording studio, but when the word got out about it, Radio stations responded in a big way!

His next recording HEALING INTENTIONS (1997) got back to the heavier Fusion -Progressive Rock approach, but got lost in the turbulence of an industry that was too busy closing distributors, record store chains and recording studios to even notice the release! DARYLL and one of Fusion’s greatest drummers, GERRY BROWN totally bashed it out! Daryll and Gerry camped out for over a year getting the grooves ready for this one! And Kenwood Dennard and Rael Wesley Grant showed up for another thunderous Daryll Dobson performance!. Daryll eventually closed the studio and label in 1998.

Now the self imposed exile has ended!
DARYLL DOBSON – REALITY CHECK is one of the heaviest Daryll Dobson guitar performances to date, enhanced by state of the art Video Production, as only he can do it! Featuring Daryll Dobson, Kenwood Dennard, Sammy Figueroa & Rael Wesley Grant. Check it all out at solarguitars.com & darylldobson.com

The self imposed exile of electric avant-garde guitarist Daryll Dobson has ended!

The self imposed exile of electric avant-garde guitarist Daryll Dobson has ended!

The Electric Avant-Garde Guitar Master of psychedelic rock and fusion technology Daryll Dobson, has returned with a CD/DVD Progressive Rock Set “REALITY CHECK” and he has now TAKEN IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL! Three years in the making, Daryll’s fourth release - REALITY CHECK - represents a major achievement in the merger of musical performance and audio-visual-internet technology! As a Producer, Daryll has created a Total Musical and Visual Excursion into his unique world of Sights and Sounds!
The new SolarGuitars Label is committed to this Multimedia CD/DVD Disc concept! The label has also developed it’s own new unique internet based promotion system and strategy to get the message of the music out to the public in a major way this year! Don’t worry we’re still promoting it to radio and TV also! And there will be live performances in support of the release!

Daryll’s three previous releases The Mind Electric, Healing Intentions, and Studio 21 have been Digitally Solarized(T) and will also be released on the label. The Solarizing process and sound was developed by Daryll with special thanks to IK Multimedia Software. According to Daryll “These new SOLARIZED MASTER DISCS have been mastered over several months where we updated the presets daily to develop our own unique eq and compresson concepts. We call it Solarizing! Why not? We’re SolarGuitars Studios!”
More releases by more Heavy Guitarists coming!
