About the New Jazz Fusion Music of EL's MystERy

EL's MystERy's new jazz fusion music is highly improvised and combines a multitude of melodic lead guitar voices with a touch of bluesy overtones, often performed at blistering speeds with jazzy rhythms, extraordinary jazz bass accompaniment and complimentary keyboard and drum lines. Listeners of EL's MystERy's music have remarked that it is very visual in nature, much like the soundtrack to a movie that plays in the listener's head.

According to Crater Rock Music, LLC, EL's MystERy's new jazz fusion music is an example of what can be accomplished by someone who's focus is so intense that while engaged in the creative process, nothing else seems to exist in the world around him. Not only does Tony compose the new music, usually as fast as he performs it while recording in his small studio, he also does the mixing and mastering, as well as the artwork for the music; demonstrating highly specialized skills without any previous formal training.

About Crater Rock Music, LLC

Crater Rock Music, LLC, a small independent record label and publisher, located in Hampton, VA, was formed by Yvonne Smith, after encountering Tony Belcastro's artistic abilities, to give him an opportunity to have the experience of bringing complex artistic projects to completion.

"When I met Tony, it was so sad to see that he was unable to realize his full potential. The discouragement that he had from earlier failed attempts, due to his high functioning autism with its severe social and emotional handicaps, to do something substantial with his talents, was heartbreaking. I knew that with the proper tools and encouragement, Tony would be able to produce professional quality music." (Yvonne Smith, Crater Rock Music, LLC)
