The Limited Edition Metheny/Manzer Signature 6 Guitar

Nov 25th, 2008 by admin

Metheny-Manzer Signature 6 limited edition Hey all. It’s been too long since my last post. I’ve been super busy and also away a lot…which is a good thing…:) Now that I’m back home and able to post some good bits, I thought it would be a great way to kick off a series of posts by letting you all know about a truly wonderful collaboration between two singular artists: Pat Metheny and Linda Manzer.

Pat Metheny is of course, one of the few commercial success who hasn’t compromised his art for the sake of a few more record sales. Love him or hate him, you gotta give him props for staying true to his musical soul and creating a sound that is uniquely Metheny. Plus, he’s just such a gifted guitar player and composer in any situation, be it his group setting, playing trio, guesting on diverse recordings or playing out and out free form music with Ornette Coleman. Whatever situation, there’s no denying the Metheny sound.

Helping Metheny achieve that “sound” is Linda Manzer. Widely known as “that chick who made that weird guitar“, Linda Manzer is in fact a highly respected Luthier of the tallest order who has designed and created some of the most expressive, most beautiful and most desirable instruments one has ever played. Her history with Metheny goes back to the early ’80’s and she has been instrumental in Metheny’s sonic explorations ever since. Continue Reading »

Bucky Pizzarelli and Joe Giglio - Two Guitar Greats in One Room!

Sep 10th, 2008 by admin

Bucky Pizzarelli and Joe Giglio

UPDATE: I just found out that due to a nasty cold, Bucky Pizzarelli will not be playing with Joe Giglio this Saturday as originally mentioned. in Bucky’s place will be the talented Jazz Guitarist Carl Barry. Definitely still a great show.

——————–

WOW! I can’t believe it’s been over a month since my last post. As you can may imagine I’ve been swamped with a ton of work and also doing reviews and interviews for the upcoming Jazz Guitar Life update. That being said, I wanted to draw your attention to the fact that Master Plectrist Bucky Pizzarelli will be joining Jazz Guitar great Joe Giglio for an evening of wonderful Jazz Guitar playing (click here for a Jazz Guitar life interview with Joe). If you have never heard these two gentlemen play, then this would be an awesome opportunity to see and hear the magic that can happen when two kindred spirits get together for some musical fun. If I lived closer, I would definitely make the journey to see these guys perform, but alas, I don’t live close at all so I’ll just have to imagine. If you are able to see them perform I’d love to hear about it. Below is the info from Joe himself. Later all.
