Comess has successfully navigated the tricky music industry for over 20 years, managing to keep his original band together, build an active career as a sideman/session player/producer, and make his own records as a composer/leader. With ‘Beautiful Mistake’, he shines as a songwriter and continues to distinguish himself. Comess comments on the process of creating ‘Beautiful Mistake’, his second instrumental CD: “I try to make music that speaks like a song even without words...where the melody plays like a voice, but with plenty of room for improvisation. I wrote all the music on guitar, and I’m grateful for how well Teddy and Rich interpreted it.” Visit Comess’ impressive and eclectic Discography to get a sense of the wide range of projects he’s been involved with over the years, from Chris Whitley’s final album to Joan Osborne’s ‘Righteous Love’ to a dozen releases as a member of Spin Doctors: http://www.aaroncomess.com/discography.htm
