About the Event

The original Great Guitars trio of Charlie Byrd, Herb Ellis and Barney Kessel were formed in 1973. They performed intermittently over the next twenty years, recording five live albums, the last in 2005.
Great Guitars Revisited was formed in homage to that great American trio, composed of three of Britain’s current array of amazingly talented guitarists. They will bring you a musical story on jazz from the 70’s, 80’s 90’s and beyond, when the three American guitarists joined forces and left a lasting legacy of guitar styles that even remains innovative today. They covered a wide range of styles and genres as you will hear when our trio revisit their music.
