Christopher Woitach
When I first started playing jazz guitar, I went
to the public library and borrowed the first
jazz album I could find with a guitarist on the
cover. That guitarist was John Stowell. My
reaction was along the lines of: "I could never
do that!" This recording represents a full
circle for me, and I'm grateful to Jud and John
for the opportunity.
John has the unique ability to pull out
unexpected music from the musicians who play
with him, leaving them forever expanded. While
we were playing the concert, I heard and played
things I hadn't before. For a musician, this is
a
peak experience, and I'm looking forward to the
next opportunity |

Christopher swings, has a warm sound, ample
technique and big ears. All of these attributes
make him an ideal duo partner. For our concert
together, we both contributed some tunes and had
a quick rehearsal. The sound at the Lucia
Douglas Gallery and the wonderfully attentive
audience made for a great afternoon. I look
forward to playing more with Christopher in the
future."
