Description
Vic Juris' album 'Blue' is heavily focused on ballads, where his signature fluid sound and mature artistry fits perfectly. One of today's premier jazz guitarists Vic Juris has been active on the scene for over four decades amassing an impressive discography.
He is joined by the bassist Jay Anderson and drummer Adam Nussbaum, as they perform an interesting selection of material, including compositions by Marvin Gaye, Horace Silver, Bill Evans, Henry Mancini and others, plus one original song by Juris.
"Vic Juris is a versatile and impressively accomplished guitarist. His playing exudes warmth, intelligence and respect for the tradition. Perhaps best of all, he seems to understand that the foregoing positives also apply to a legion of contemporary guitarists, and he looks for ways to set his work apart, in terms of sound, approach, or material." - JazzTimes (on 'Remembering Eric Dolphy' SCCD31453)
Personnel: Vic Juris (guitar), Jay Anderson (bass), Adam Nussbaum (drums)
