Musicians: Nate Najar guitar Chuck Redd drums Tommy Cecil bass Information: Nate Najar is one of only few guitarists who play jazz on the classical guitar. Many guitar players emulate horn players with blistering single note runs, but Nate prefers the more orchestral approach afforded by the classical guitar. Contrapuntal lines, lush harmony, and a full swinging sound have come to be associated with his guitar work. Swinging jazz sounds, blues, and Brazilian styles are all at home under Nate's hands. Chuck Redd is a seasoned performer on both drums and vibraphone. He is currently the Artist-In-Residence at The Smithsonian Jazz Café in Washington, DC. Chuck began performing internationally when he joined the Charlie Byrd Trio in 1980 at the age of 21. Jazz bassist and composer Tommy Cecil first picked up the bass as a teenager in his hometown of Baltimore, and started teaching himself how to play. In 1976, Tommy moved to Washington and since then has established himself as one of the most sought-after bassists in the area. Venue Website: http://www.andiemusiklive.com
