Join Wolfgang Muthspiel – “a shining light of the contemporary jazz-guitar generation” (The New Yorker) – as he launches his New York Guitar Festival residency tonight. The internationally acclaimed guitarist and composer will perform with a dynamic trio featuring two longtime collaborators, bassist Larry Grenadier and alto saxophonist Chris Cheek. Writing in The Times of London, Chris Parker described Muthspiel music as “rivetingly original, thoughtful, and totally absorbing without being forbiddingly esoteric; firmly structured but allowing just enough space for free individual expression.”
