Museum of Making Music hosts several of the world's foremost acoustic guitarists performing their latest compositions and exchanging musical ideas. Musicians include Brian Gore, Martin Taylor (Scotland), Solorazaf (Madagascar), Guinga (Brazil).
San Francisco guitar poet Brian Gore has a reputation as one of the most interesting and influential performers of "the next generation" in acoustic guitar. His style offers strikingly beautiful tone and dynamics, and he draws much of his inspiration from myth and modern literature. His recent project, Santa Cruz in Song and Image, is a remarkable multimedia collaboration with illustrator Bill Russell built around 10 songs inspired by Santa Cruz, CA. There's an iBook with text and images designed to enhance the listening experience, and the album includes illustrated postcards, also evoking Santa Cruz.
British jazz guitarist Martin Taylor has recorded over 25 albums and enjoyed a musical career spanning over 30 years. This internationally acclaimed artist has received 14 British Jazz Awards, a BBC Lifetime Achievement Award, and an MBE for "Services To Music" (presented by her Majesty the Queen). Taylor's most recent projects include a release with his group Spirit of Django, Last Train to Hauteville, and a solo album Double Standards.
Solorazaf is a French-Malagasy guitarist and singer who has toured with legendary artists like Miriam Makeba and Nina Simone. Named a "master of the 12/8 saleg rhythm" by Acoustic Guitar Magazine, this talented guitarist mixes complex guitar patterns with his singing to produce a sound that is highly rhythmic and smoothly flowing. He also adds foot percussion, using homemade "stompboxes". This past summer saw him release Solonaives + Sculptures with GAD, a double disk albumshowcasing his African roots mixed with jazz and blues.
