Tower of Power guitarist and vocalist Jerry Cortez's solo album. His funky rhythm and blazing leads earned him compliments from Tower of Power fans and music critics worldwide. A seasoned professional, Jerry toured and recorded with artists including Michael McDonald, Tom Johnston, Jessie Colin Young, Buddy Miles, Alex Ligertwood, and many others. 6 years since his last album release 'American Invasion', the talented Jerry Cortez releases a new studio album 'From The Ground Up', recorded all the way from Nashville's famed recording studios Sony/Tree Studio and Ocean Way Studio. Unlike his former cover albums, this solo instrumental album demonstrates the best of Cortez's unique, soulful guitar style. Playing true to his fashion, Jerry Cortez chose a range of vibrant songs and elevates the acoustic beats with his remarkable musicianship, featuring his best-received interpretation of Carlos Santana's Black Magic Woman. Jerry says "I spent my formative years with my guitar in my hands almost constantly. That love of music and playing is still with me and I take pleasure in the fact that I get the chance to play with some of the best musicians on the planet in Tower of Power.".
