Guitar Moderne Festival XXVII
Guitar Moderne began as a place to curate videos of live performances by modern guitarists. During Covid, with touring shut down, I posted many imaginary festivals comprised of shows on You Tube. Festivals are back, though not until the spring, and some of us are still wary of crowded clubs, so here is another virtual festival featuring legend Eivind Aarset, as well as legends in the making Julien Desprez, Liberty Ellman, Susan Alcorn, Ava Mendoza, and Mike Baggetta.
Quatuor IXI, Jan Bang, Eivind Aarset, Michele Rabbia—live at Chamber Remix Cologne
Julien Desprez—at Angelica Festival Internazionale di Musica 2021
Vijay Iyer, Liberty Ellman, Reggie Workman, Tyshawn Sorey—The Stone, NYC – Jan 22 2015
Morphic Resonance 8 Livestream (the first 50 minutes is guitarist Nick Robinson.)
Susan Alcorn and Ava Mendoza at the Cunneen—Hackett Arts Center
Ava Mendoza and Mike Baggetta duo—at First Street Green
Jazz à Junas: Nils Petter Molvær performs Khmer.
For my big birthday (75), I decided to brave a festival.
I hadn’t seen a true concert in over three years. A show at the Jazz a Junas festival seemed ideal: small, outdoors, 40 minutes away from our apartment in Nîmes over mostly non-life-threatening roads.
Guitar Moderne Record Picks: Best of 2022
Well, here they are: my ten faves from 2022; a little late (okay a lot late), but it would be a shame if you missed out on any of these terrific releases from the past twelve months. I urge you to go back through the Record Pick posts throughout the year to check out other fine recordings that didn’t make the cut. So, in no particular order.

Catching up on a plethora of performances released last year, some of which are shoo-ins for my “best of” list coming later in January.
