About Me |
|
| About jazz guitarist Justin Perdue: I’m working with a trio featuring Jeremy Harlos (bass) and Travis Shores (drums), playing original compositions. I’ve been playing professionally since the late 80s, appearing at venues from the Knitting Factory and Vision Festival to the Burlington Jazz Festival and the University of Madison Wisconsin. I’ve recorded and performed with Arthur Brooks, the So-Called Jazz Sextet, Jack Wright, and have worked & toured with the Middlebury College Dance Co. In addition to jazz guitar work in combo settings (trio recordings here feature Harlos and Shores), I’ve also composed and recorded works with guitar synthesizer and computers, and co-led several funk bands. |
