Career

Bruce Forman Jazz Guitar Workshop in France

Forman took piano lessons at an early age before picking up the guitar at age thirteen. In 1971, his family moved to San Francisco. Instead of going to college, he performed with local jazz musicians, such as Eddie Duran, Vince Lateano, and Eddie Marshall, and with nationally known musicians, such as Ray Brown, George Cables, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, Bobby Hutcherson, and Woody Shaw. For several years during the late 1970s and early 1980s, he toured with Richie Cole.
