Solo Jazz and Brazilian Jazz Guitar

This is relatively quiet instrumental music that is suitable for background ambience or small concerts. Although it is amplified, it is not suitable for larger venues or dance venues. I will arrive with one or two small amplifiers, two guitars, and a microphone. The microphone can be used with a guitar amplifier if the client would like to make any announcements etc. I can provide up to 3 sets of 40-45 minutes each. The music is from a fixed repitoir and is played on nylon string and electric jazz guitars. Some of the pieces have recorded accompaniment available (bass or bass/drums) depending on the nature of the venue and the preferences of the client.

I have been a musician for many years starting in high school. I played in various bands and studied jazz and classical music at a conservatory for 3 years. Coming to the realization that music would not be the best career I switched to engineering school and worked as an engineer before retiring a few years ago. During all this time I maintained my involvement with music so that now I am able to spend more time performing etc. The main emphasis in music for me has been playing finger style Brazilian jazz using a nylon string classical guitar and jazz guitar. My repitoir involves both styles. During the last 7 years I have also been involved with world music and I can incorporate various world music styles into my repitoir if desired.
