The World Of Slide Guitar

Series sponsored by NATIONAL OFFICE SYSTEMS.

April 3, 2008 7:30 PM

Series: Big World of Music

This guitar summit will showcase four completely different variations of slide guitar in an unprecedented concert that should be one of the Festival's most unique productions.

Derek Trucks has developed one of the most distinctive voices on electric slide guitar by incorporating southern blues, jazz, gospel and Indian music to form his unique phrasing. Jerry Douglas is responsible for countless innovations on the resophonic guitar, a.k.a. dobro, as evidenced by more than 1,000 recording credits and twelve Grammy® Awards. Debashish Bhattacharya is one of the standard bearers in contemporary Indian classical music. His playing has produced new techniques and maximized the range of each of his three instruments. Through his studies of music in many different societies, and involvement in recording projects and tours featuring Hawaiian, Delta Blues, West African, Indian, Okinawan, Caribbean, Gypsy and world island music, Bob Brozman now performs what he calls "World Blues" music on traditional acoustic guitars. All four artists will perform with their ensembles and in a variety of pairings throughout the evening.

Price: $75, 45, 35, 25, 15
Venue: Lucas Theatre for the Arts
