In this site,
you
will have an updates about my past, present and future
activities that I have been pursuing for almost 20 years
which are teaching and performing the music of my
instrument of choice: The Guitar.
After
relocating in the USA in 1995 a lot of great things
happened (musically speaking). I have come closer
and closer to the one of Americas truly unique art form, Jazz. Although I have always been an admirer and a
performer of many styles of music like R&B, Funk,
Brazilian, Classical, and World music of different
cultures, it was the challenges of improvised music that
attracted me the most.
There are
absolutely countless legends of Jazz and jazz guitar in
particular that I owe respect for my ongoing research and
journey to master this art form, but this page will be too
small to contain even half of their names so I still
believe that my music can speak for itself regarding that
matter.
In the
future, I attend to post more and more samples of my
playing for you to enjoy or just to analyze, and this site
will be a good tool to do that.
Thanks for visiting !
