One of the most influential jazz guitarists of his generation, Kurt Rosenwinkel, who recently returned full-time to the US from his academic position in Europe, brings a unique approach to composition and interplay typically with magnificent sidemen, as will be the case for this appearance, his first in South Florida.
Mr. Rosenwinkel was trained at Boston�s Berklee College of Music and immediately hired by Gary Burton, who has a penchant for discovering the most important guitarists for more than 40 years. He has devoted thousands of hours refining a techniques and conception that a huge number of young guitarists now regard as definitive. Kurt played in several cutting-edge bands in addition to becoming a successful leader.
Added to his prowess as a player, he is a gifted composer and arranger and has surrounded himself with like minded collaborators, especially pianist Aaron Parks.
