Why hire Randy Reszka Jazz Guitarist?
Rare are the times when you go out for a cocktail and dinner and there is live quality music in the back ground. I have learned that people go out for a fine dining experience and are often times caught sitting at a table with undesirable music being forced at them.
What they really wanted was a peaceful relaxing dinner where they can talk to one another but still feel that they had a special experience with a bit of elegance and charm.
I provide that type of atmosphere. As there are fewer and fewer solo jazz guitarists it is rare and unique to here melodies and jazz interludes from a solo performance. No rhythm tracks, drum machines, Just solo jazz guitar... playing memorable tunes.
About
Solo Jazz guitarist
I have been playing jazz guitar for over twenty years, and I'm sure I have never played any tune the same way twice. That's how it works !!!
I studied jazz in the 1980’s at Western Michigan University. While attending WMU I was taking private jazz guitar instruction from renowned jazz guitarist John Riemer, scales, arpeggios, tonal centers, tension and release, that kind of stuff. It's great to know if you want to be serious about it, I did and I still do. It is always the funnest challange, and is most exciting to here what your next improvised line might sound like. Did you hit the mark that you wanted? If not, try again the next time around.
I was a member of a jazz orchestra at WMU and have also played with small combo and duo arrangements at many venues throughout the years. living and working in Northern Michigan is a dream.
I have had the pleasure of perfoming with great jazz musicans such as; John Riemer, Jerry Camron, Tom Bourcier, Hank Hedges, Bill Harre, Lori Sears and many others......
My live performance is without
other accompaniment. I play solo improvised cord melodies on my Heritage golden eagle. Generally I use my Polytone mega brut and a razors edge speaker cabinet for a clear crisp sound.
What to Expect
Typical Gig Duration: 60 - 240 minutes
My performance is solo jazz guitar much like the masters. I have been told my playing can sound like... Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, Jim Hall, Cal Collins, Kenny Burrell. Although I am humbled by the compliments, I guess it is the best way to discribe my playing. I am best suited for dinner cocktail hours or any gathering where ther is a need for a relaxing jazz sound.
Stage/Setup Requirements:
Minimal... I take up a small area with my own equipment.
