About
The solo guitar has a particular gravity — every note carries the full weight of harmony, melody, and rhythm in a single voice. These performances explore the rich tradition of jazz standards through the intimate lens of unaccompanied guitar, where each piece becomes a personal conversation between player and song.
Drawing from the lineage of solo jazz guitar — from Jim Hall and Peter Bernstein to Pasquale Grasso — these interpretations seek the essential character of each composition, finding new paths through familiar harmonic territory.
