Sorry, Test, and Cool Video
My apologies to all the Guitar Moderne fans out there for being missing in action for months. I was having serious website issues and needed to transfer hosts. It took a lot longer than it should have and I apologize.
Here is the first post in a long time, a cool video of modern guitarist Jonathan Crossley improvising with and being interviewed by percussionist Rodrigo Constanzo.
It will serve as a test as to whether my subscriber emails are still going out and everything is working as it should. Thank you for your patience.
The Anthony Pirog Interview II
Anthony Pirog is a modern guitar hero on the level of his heroes Bill Frisell, Nels Cline, et al. In some ways he transcends them in his ability to deftly navigate a variety of genres—Jazz, Rock, Noise, Country, Ambient—genuinely but with his own take. At the time of this interview, his latest release is a collection of ambient guitar duos with Nels Cline, John Frusciante, Luke Stewart, Andy Summers, Janel Leppin, Brandon Ross, Wendy Eisenberg and Ryan Ferreira called on Otherly Love Records called The Nepenthe Series Vol. I.
The Oz Noy Interview
Oz Noy and I go back 20 some years. From the beginning, it was obvious that he was unfettered by the limitations of technique—the guy could play anything from SRV blues to avant sonic explorations. We talk about his new record with Dennis Chambers and Jimmy Haslip, the second Ozone Squeeze record, and much more.
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.
