"China Rose is intended to showcase the work of two extraordinarily talented guitarists. The real question is whether guitarists Pete Prown and Rich Maloof can play guitar. The answer is a resounding "yes!"
"Upon several listens to China Rose, I found the guitar playing on par with the California Guitar Trio. I’ve enjoyed some of the best representative works of the World Progressive genre and Guitar Garden is one of the top ranking, in my opinion. I can’t recommend this enough." --Ron Fuchs, www.prognaut.com
"CHINA ROSE is one of the best CDs I've received in a long time! It has the wonderfully rare flair of Asian music, and great guitar riffs."
"On his latest effort with GuitarGarden, leader Pete Prown's guitar work blends...Asian music within the context of hip-hop grooves and ethnic beats."
"China Rose is fresh, passionate, and dynamic, a fragrant blend of Asian-fusion grooves, lounge-pop, and soulful lead guitar."
