California Guitar Trio
About This Event
California Guitar Trio, an acoustic-electric ensemble formed in Los Angeles in 1991 and rooted in the New Standard Tuning practices associated with Robert Fripp’s Guitar Craft, appears at Iridium. The current lineup — guitarists Paul Richards and Bert Lams with Chapman Stick player Tom Griesgraber — balances tightly notated arrangements and open-ended tonal exploration, using guitars as both rhythmic and orchestral instruments in a jazz setting.
