Hi gang,
I'd like to extend the thread on European Jazz guitarists a bit here
if you
don't mind. I mentioned Jesse van Ruller earlier, the Rosenbergs, and
Jan
Akkerman. Obviously these are all Dutch players.
Two Belguim players I absolutely dig are Rene Thomas and Philip
Catherine.
Rene made a great classic Jazz guitar recording in 1960 "Guitar
Groove" that
is outstanding and a super classic. It is one of the few albums that
even
merits a 4 star review in the Penguin Guide to Jazz (LOL). One of my
favorite Jazz Guitar Cds. Rene died as early as 1974.
Philip Catherine is another great Jazz hero from Belgium. Most
expressive
Jazz player with a distinct style. I guess you guys know him across
the
pond? He worked with Chet Baker and Tom Harrell.
What about Scandinavian and German Jazz guitar playing? I must admit
I don't
know too many from these regions.
From Britain I know Martin Taylor and Louis Stewart but I guess there
must
be many more...
And let's not forget the French. Are they known in the States?
Bireli
Lagrene, Philippe Petit, Christian Escoude etc? I mean, these guys
are
famous over here. Any new players I should know about?
Greetings from Holland,
Dick

In France Antoine Boyer is incredible. He plays as well jazz, gypsy
jazz or classical...
In Italy Matteo Mancuso is just ouaouh ! ;-)
I think that Michael Sagmeister from Germany is one of the Top 5
Jazz-Guitar Players from Europe!
