Gordon Giltrap & John Etheridge
contemporary jazz fusion
Influences: Django Reinhardt, John McLaughlin, Stéphane Grappelli
Gordon Giltrap plays acoustic and electric guitar, and John Etheridge plays electric guitar, and together they blend folk-tinged acoustic fingerstyle with fluid, melodic jazz guitar. Etheridge brings a background in fusion and the Soft Machine and Stan Tracey circles, while Giltrap's long career as a British acoustic guitarist gives the duo a lyrical, song-like sound. Expect intimate guitar conversation rather than a loud, rhythm-section-driven set.
