Records by Charlie Byrd Lenny Breau George Van Eps Laurindo Almieda and Joe Pass have set a very high standard for solo fingerstyle jazz guitar and it is from this vantage point that the solo flights of Taylor Crook Nichols Baker and Mann take wing. Each player has developed a distinctly different approach to interpreting and writing jazz for solo guitar by listening intently to numerous other musicians and composers - pianists horn players bassists and singers as well as many guitarists in jazz blues and other styles. What distinguishes them from more traditional jazz guitarists (who more or less function in a linear voice in an ensemble) is their abilityto play (or imply) all aspects of music - rhythm chords bass and melody - without accompaniment. Their performances not only demonstrate their technical brilliance and imagination they are a testament to the enduring power and beauty of jazz guitar in its current evolution as a major instrumental force in American music.Martin Taylor: Shining Stockings My funny Valentine Just Squeeze Me Tommy Crook: Melody Of Birdland All The Things You Are It Had To Be You Wave Jim Nichols: Can't Take That Away From Me East Of The Sun Taste Of Honey Here's That Rainy Day Duck Baker: Back Home in Indiana Forty Ton Parachute Out Of The Past Seven Point One Woody Mann: Mr. Guitar Uptown Tales Gypsy Girl Cat Burglar

Jim Nichols Craig Wagner and Tim Thompson are three of the most gifted guitarists I've come to know. While each would be classified as jazz players they each have a different approach and sound. Jim brings the tradition ofJoe Pass and Lenny Breau as well as a bebop sound to his lines. Craig applies warp speed three fingered scale techniques on his seven string guitar and mixes the traditional jazz repertoire with the pop styles of Stevie Wonderand Michael Jackson. Tim likes to give an edge to the groove of his traditional swing feel while playing solo and using a looping device. He also likes to surprise his audience with unique song selection and originalcompositions.' - Bill Piburn

Par RODMANN BERTINO. Gypsy Jazz (sometimes known as Jazz-Manouche) is the first unique style of jazz music originating from Europe. It has influences that stem from; Hungarian Czardas; French musette waltzes; Spanish flamenco; and, of course, the music of the Sinti. It was originally played exclusively by Sinti musicians in a swing style. Django Reinhardt, the most renowned player of Gypsy Jazz, made it popular throughout the world with his ground-breaking techniques. To this day countless guitarists are influenced by the music and personality of Django Reinhardt. In Sinti culture, the techniques of playing Gypsy Jazz are traditionally passed down orally from generation to generation without ever being written down. It is because of this that musicians who are not Sinti often misunderstand the essence of this distinctly intriguing and fascinating music. The need for an authentic, written introduction to Gypsy Jazz guitar inspired Bertino Rodmann, a performing Gypsy Jazz guitarist from Frankfurt, Germany, to create this written method for Gypsy Jazz Guitar. Using the best examples of all the best  performances, past and present, as well as showcasing the typical aspects of rhythm and lead guitar in Gypsy Jazz, his book aims to develop the reader?s respect for the ancient traditions of the Sinti and their music and bring this to a wider culture.   Contents: Rhythm Guitar: Comping | La Pompe-rhythm | Dead notes | Gypsychords | Voicings | Blues cadence | Chord substitution Solo Guitar: Reststroke picking | Arpeggio picking | Sweptstroke picking | Scales | Arpeggios | Solo licks Transcriptions: Blues Clair (Django Reinhardt) | Blues en mineur (Reinhardt/Grapelli) | Douce Ambiance (Django Reinhardt) | Good times (Bertino Rodmann) | Minor Swing (Reinhardt/Grapelli) | Swing 48 (Django Reinhardt) | Valse à Bertino (Bertino Rodmann)   / Methods
