Last night I was fortunate to experience what I think has been the most amazing concert experience. I heard/saw the International Guitar Night. Four fantastic acoustic guitarists, Jim Kimo West (slack key master), Olli Soikkeli (gypsy jazz extraordinaire), Cenk Erdogan (fretless genius) and Mike Dawes (percussive fingerstyle genius). ING has been doing this concert series for 20 years but this was the first time I was able to catch one of their concerts. They played individually, in pairs (everyone with everyone) and finally all four together. Each master’s in their own style and yet so good in various combinations and together. It’s what I want to be in my next life. Wow is all I can say. If you’ve never seen one of their shows find one, if you have seen one then you know what I am talking about. Each year it’s 4 different guitarists. This was their 4th concert in an ongoing series of 33. Catch them if you can.
