Over the past five years, Duck Baker and Jamie Findlay, both accomplished solo guitarists, have developed a new approach to playing jazz guitar duos. Concentrating on tunes by great composers from Fats Waller to Thelonius Monk, Duck and Jamie combine their talents for complex, sophisticated arrangements without ever losing their swing and sense of fun. Their state-of-the-art acoustic guitar work will appeal to jazz fans, guitar fans, and anyone else who just likes good music. Reviews of their first album, Out of the Past, have consistently praised the duo's taste, drive, and variety. Jamie, one of the world1s best contemporary acoustic jazz players, is master of a virtuosic style often compared to Ralph Towner and Pat Metheny. In addition to his solo and vocalist accompanist work, Jamie is currently a member of the L.A.-based aggregate the Acoustic Jazz Quartet. One of the most highly regarded fingerstyle guitarists of his generation, Duck is best known for his work in the traditional folk, ragtime, and swing worlds, as well as his dedication to jazz. Duck and Jamie have recently released their first duo recording, Out of the Past. Canada's Coda, perhaps North America's most serious jazz journal, praised the album for its taste, drive, and variety, recommending it for "anyone who just wants to feel better."
