an evening of acoustic jazz guitar
Door 7:30pm, Music 8:00pm | Purchase advance tickets: $17.50

Over the past several 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 enjoys good music.

Reviews of their first album, Out of the Past, have consistently praised the duo. (Canada's Coda, perhaps North America's most serious jazz journal, lauded the album's taste, drive, and variety, recommending it for "anyone who just wants to feel better.")

Jamie, one of the world's best contemporary acoustic jazz players, is master of a virtuosic style that often has him compared to Ralph Towner and Pat Metheny. In addition to his solo and vocalist accompanist work, Jamie is currently a member of the Los Angeles-based, 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.
