“easy, expressive command.”
“...amazing improvisation...keenly crafted original compositions.”
“creatively inspired...masterful.”
“A superb performance of the Concierto de Aranjuez.”

Here’s a kind of “Americana jazz” version of “The Nearness of You”, another demo video I recorded last year. Some cool ambient sounds here - turn it up on some nice speakers! Amazing players Chris Wabich and Ahmet Turkmenoglu join me once again.
I’ve become a real gearhead these days! So:
Guitar:1999 James Tyler
Amp: 1966 Fender Deluxe (sweet!)
Strings and things: @daddario_strings

I’ll be playing jazz this Sunday at the Lighthouse, in Hermosa Beach. Great rhythm section: @ericsittner bass and Tim Pleasant, drums. Come on by if you’re not all turkey-ed out!

Earlier this year, I did a couple demo videos with a wonderful rhythm section: @monkeydrummer1 and @sezinahmet
Here’s a bluesy take on the standard “Come Rain or Shine”. Enjoy! Full video: https://youtu.be/ayLAwZ433Jg
Wonderful weekend in one of my favorite cities, San Francisco! Beautiful weather, amazing friends and family, and Herbst Theater! Always an honor to play in this fantastic space.
Happy to return to the Lighthouse Cafe this Sunday with great players, Eric Sittner and Chris Wabich!
So happy I got to visit Spain again on this tour! It’s a unique, magical universe – dynamic people, unique settings, and obviously a rich musical history.
