Merrimans' Playhouse Jazz Performance Series presents New West Guitar Group!
New West Guitar Group (NWGG) has developed a wide spread reputation as one of the
premier guitar ensembles in the world. Featuring guitarists Perry Smith (NYC) John Storie (LA) and Will Brahm (LA), they perform jazz standards, classic pop covers, and exciting originals. Their signature sound comes from an innovative style that highlights rhythm, beauty and virtuosity through combining acoustic and electric guitars. Smith and Storie founded the group 10 years and today they continue to tour as a trio with Brahm throughout the United States and abroad.
A rare chemistry...shimmering arpeggios, collectively strummed chords, tight cracking interplay and complementary playing. - Downbeat Magazine.
They're masters of their caressing, cascading sound, best categorized as chamber jazz...dexterously peppered, now and again, with Gypsy fire, flamenco zest and steel-string twang." - JazzTimes
In August of 2015, New West Guitar Group released their new project 'Send One Your Love' on Summit Records. The recording features guest vocalists: Gretchen Parlato, Sara Gazarek, Becca Stevens, Tierney Sutton and Peter Eldridge. Downbeat Magazine gave this CD the prestigious Editor's Pick in their August 2015 issue.
Praised as sharp and refined by the Seattle Times, the New West Guitar Group has released five instrumental albums over the last 10 years. Each project features their unique style of laid-back virtuosity through expert arrangements crafted by the members of the group. Their music is regularly featured on NPR and jazz radio stations, while their repertoire is performed throughout the country by college and high school guitar programs. Graduates of USCs Thornton School of Music, the New West Guitar Group's versatility as players and composers have given them a reputation as pioneers in the realm of guitar ensemble.
Beautiful acoustic rhythms, vibrant classically infused single note lines and jazzy arpeggios cover the magnificent musical landscape these three players create. - Metronome Magazine
The groups creativity in not being afraid to stretch boundaries is helping to forge a new area of music that should inspire other guitarists... - Vintage Guitar Magazine
