Description
Continuing on his freewheeling journey as a true musical citizen of the world, Nate Najar follows the release of his acclaimed 2016 album 'This is Nate Najar' with performances at festivals, clubs and concert halls from Europe to the US to Australia. Over the years, the guitarist has enthralled audiences across the globe with his trademark acoustic classical guitar - but no city he has visited has captured his heart quite like Paris.While Django Reinhardt's classic "Nuages" has been part of his trio's set list for years, Najar explores his passion for French jazz and pop with deeper commitment and purpose than ever before on his new full length album 'Under Paris Skies'. The 11-track collection extends Najar's creative relationship with Woodward Avenue Records, which released his 'Christmas in December' in 2017. Najar's affiliation with the popular jazz label dates back to Groove Me, his 2010 collaboration with Melba Moore that reached the Top 10 of the Billboard Jazz chart.A warm, soulful, multi-faceted expression of his enduring love for the City of Lights, 'Under Paris Skies' reflects the deep and exciting "rabbit hole" of research Najar did to curate a unique eclectic variety of pop, jazz and classical songs rarely re-imagined by American jazz artists. 'Under Paris Skies' is also a dynamic showcase of the trio's latest lineup (featuring Washington, DC bassist Tommy Cecil and UK drummer Matt Home) and Najar's work on his beloved Ramirez guitar, which previously belonged to Charlie Byrd. Becky Byrd, wife of the late guitarist Charlie Byrd, said, "There is no doubt that there is a piece of Charlie's soul in Nate's mind, heart and fingers. Get ready, world, here comes Nate Najar!" http://www.natenajar.com/presskit/UPCOMING TOUR DATES:Europe Dates:7-SepBulls HeadBarnes, London, UK10-SepNorth Devon Jazz ClubDevon, UK11-SepSt Ives Jazz ClubSt Ives, UK13-SepSpike's PlaceBeckenham, UK14-SepQuay Arts CentreNewport, Isle Of Wight, UK18-SepSouthampton Jazz ClubSouthampton UK20-SepSpike'
