A word from Mr. Chapman:
"The more I listen to Steve's new "Concert" DVD, the more I like it. Lots of wild "orchestration of the fingers" going on, over and above the subtle electronic effects. All hands are at all sectors of the board, plucking and strumming too. Slapping string percussion and harmonics add even more color"
Here is a link to a Mel Bay "travels" story and a video clip from the new DVD:

Also "STICKOLOGY, A GUIDE TO PLAYING THE CHAPMAN STICK" is now available as a book/DVD combo.
>>"Steve's Stickology is a long awaited addition to our Stick libraries from an expert. Lots of fundamentals, theory, advanced technique, some unique tricks of Steve's - and all with his down to earth good humor. I'm off to practice his "kerchunk" move."

A little bit about Steve...
Recognizing the great potential of the instrument, he purchased his first Stick in
1984, and has focused his performance activities on it ever since.

Steve's CD "The Answer's Inside"
"One listen will confirm that he is a musician open to,
and capable of playing anything. Steve composed all of the disc's eight tracks,
and has done so successfully with great spirit. Mr. Adelson has put together a package
filled with some clever tunes, and most important, consistently great playing."
--Jim Fisch (Twentieth Century Guitar magazine, jazz critic)
