Denison University Annual Jazz Guitar Festival
The format is usually a series of work shops and mini concerts held on Saturday at noon by the local guitarists and afternoons by the guests. Then, there is an evening concert on Saturday of the guests. Later that evening they take some amps up to the second floor of Brews (a local watering hole and eatery) where everybody plays until the law says they have to leave. Sunday afternoon there is a grand concert where all guitarists play. Here's a review we did up on the 2005 Festival (click) 2006 Denison University Jazz Guitar Festival Friday, Saturday and Sunday, November 3rd, 4th & 5th. Burke Hall of Music and Art (MapQuest) Burke Hall is not the "red star" - but, just West (left) almost to Cherry.St. Burke Hall is a white building visible from W Broadway (the main street through Granville), but actually on W College. On the north side of a block made up of W Broadway (south), Cherry St (west), W College (north), & N Mulberry (east). There is parking lot at Burke Hall, but very small. Try it first - but, then circle the block above until you can find a parking spot... Guest Guitarists will be: Howard Alden - Howard can be heard on the soundtrack to the 1999 Woody Allen movie "Sweet and Lowdown", starring Sean Penn, who was also nominated for an Academy Award for his role as a legendary jazz guitarist in the '30s. Howard not only played all the guitar solos, but also coached Mr. Penn on playing the guitar for his role in the film. Trio da paz - three of Brazil's most in-demand musicians, Trio da Paz updates the infectious spirit of jazz-oriented Brazilian music. Led by guitarist Romero Lumbambo - who I will personally guarantee will "knock yer socks off".. Rick Peckham - Rick is an internationally known jazz guitarist, clinician from Berklee College of Music. Schedule of Events - 2006: Friday, Nov 3rd - 8 pm - Burke Hall "Opening Concert" hosted by Tom
