Guitarist-composer Johnny Alegre is a jazz journeyman and innovative recording artist from the Philippines. The first issues of his albums were released on both Candid Records UK and MCA Music Philippines under limited licenses. His continuing and pioneering musical projects defy barriers of genre, demographics, and cultural stereotypes. Alegre’s involvement in the Manila scene encompasses scores of bands and recordings, spanning more than three decades of history and discography. From his seminal “pinoy rock” origins, his early production sorties in classic OPM (Original Philippine Music), and his epiphany into jazz are legendary. In various capacities as a composer-arranger, record producer and performing musician, Alegre's protean roles have been none short of groundbreaking.
