Tim Mirth’s Guitar Band

Sat, Jan 11

Tim Mirth’s Guitar Band is excited to return to the wonderful BluJazz in Akron. We will be presenting new compositions and arrangements, and perhaps even some new guitars. The constantly evolving band continues to refine its sound and mission. Doors: 7:00pm Show: 8:00pm Tickets: $20 General Admission About: Presenting a mix of originals and re-arrangements of jazz standards, Tim Mirth's Guitar band approaches the music in an uncommon configuration. Two guitars present opportunities that highlight the vast range of the instrument. While guitar can be approached as strictly a "rhythm" instrument, which it excels at, it has also proven to be a very formidable solo instrument. While, often in these settings, there is a bit of "your turn, my turn" philosophy, the goal of this group is to be an integrated unit, almost like 2 hands of a piano, expanding the possibilities even more. Compositions inspired by the work of musicians such as Kurt Rosenwinkel, Wes Montgomery, Coltrane, Keith Jarrett, Brad Mehldau, plus artists as vast as Radiohead, Wagner, Philip Glass, James Brown, and Kendrick Lamar, the band brings together jazz tradition with ears of a modern music fan. The potential is vast. Tim Mirth Guitar Band Consists of: Brent Hamker : Guitar Bryan Thomas: Bass Tony Kazel: Drums Tim Mirth: Guitar
