Grammy-nominated guitarist, composer and educator Martin Taylor celebrates his 60th birthday and 45 years as a touring artist with a series of solo UK concerts in October.
Kicking off in Fareham on Friday October 14, Taylor will take to 13 UK towns.
Widely considered to be the world’s foremost exponent of solo jazz and fingerstyle guitar, Martin Taylor’s remarkable musical career has spanned five decades with more than 100 recordings to his name, an MBE, two honourary doctorates and many international awards.
He has collaborated with musicians from many different musical genres including Jeff Beck, Tommy Emmanuel, Bill Wyman, Chet Atkins, Stephane Grappelli, David Grisman, George Harrison, Jamie Cullum, Bryn Terfel, Dianne Schuur and Gary Burton.
However it is his dazzling solo concerts, with a signature style that artfully combines his virtuosity, emotion and humour with a strong, engaging stage presence, that make this tour one of the highlights of the autumn jazz calendar.
