Guitarist

About Me:

I have been playing guitar since 1971. I love all the classic jazz guitarists. I have particular affection for the lyrical styles of players like Django Reinhardt, Jim Hall and Wes Montgomery.

Musical Background & Experience:

I am a Ft Worth area jazz and multi-style guitarist. I have worked extensively in the North Texas area with many travels across the USA. I am honored to have been chosen to perform two solo jazz guitar concerts for the Grand Opening Week of the Dallas Center For the Performing Arts (Winspear Opera House). For the sake of these featured recordings I'm playing my Dupont MD-50E, which is a very fine recreation of the circa 1936 "Selmer Modele Jazz" guitar as played by Django Reinhardt and legions of gypsy guitarists since. I've been a huge Django fan since I was a teenager and I've attempted to channel that spirit through these humble recordings. Thanks for listening.
