Guitar virtuosos Martin Taylor and Ulf Wakenius create musical magic as The Great Guitars™.

This project traces its colorful heritage back to the 1970s, when the legendary jazz guitarists of that era toured the world and recorded together. Award-winning guitarist Martin Taylor, who replaced Herb Ellis to become part of the original group in the 1980s with the legendary Barney Kessel and Charlie Byrd, has revised the format for the 21st century, creating a brilliant program displaying guitar mastery, emotion, humor, and musical fireworks.

Combining Taylor’s award-winning virtuosic finger style with Wakenius’ incredible musical versatility, the concert features solo and duet performances by these masters of fingerstyle, jazz and Gypsy guitar. Between them, these guitar greats have worked with artists ranging from Tommy Emmanuel to David Grisman, Donald Fagen to Wynton Marsalis, and Bonnie Raitt to Bob Dylan.
