"Evolution" is the album for any listener starving for a new voice. Jake Hertzog's accomplishments as a jazz musician mesh with his love for the rock idiom, creating almost an entirely new musical language. Co-produced by the great jazz bassist Harvie S, the original compositions (except for Jake's version of Springsteen's "Streets of Philadelphia") have been mastered to perfection- and is a recording destined to become a classic.
Past achievements include winning the Grand Prize in 2006 for the Montreux Jazz Guitar Competition in Switzerland. Jake holds title at 20 years old as the youngest ever prize winner in the competitions history. He was invited back in 2007 to showcase his original music at the Festival. Jake is an alum of the prestigious Berklee College of Music and recipient of several performance scholarships. "Very impressive for such a young man!" - John McLaughin
Under the alias Hey Jazz Guy, Jake is a monthly contributor to Guitar Player Magazine's ‘Lessons' section. He has been coined as the Jazz Ambassador to the non-jazz world. Guitar Player calls him "...the blazing wunderkind"; The Boston Phoenix has declared him "...the WOW! factor".
Award-winning jazz guitarist and composer, Jake's second studio album, Patterns, was chosen by Guitar Player Magazine as an Editor's Pick and quickly gained international regard.
