DUCK BAKER - PROFESSIONAL GUITARIST
CHOOSES THE MOONDOG GRAND AUDITORIUM
ALONG WITH THE MOONDOG
GRAND CONCERT
Baker's
solo recordings since1980 have for the most part focused on his
own compositions, which reflect the influence of the great jazz
pianist/composers like Monk, Nichols, Randy Weston etc. His
pieces have been recorded by various other guitarists, as well
as Irish and American traditionalists and modern Jazzmen. His
most ambitious record, "Spinning Song", which is
devoted to the music of Herbie Nichols, got rave reviews in Jazz
Times, Cadence, Coda, and the New York Times, and helped
establish Baker as an important voice in the world of
fingerstyle jazz guitar. Various critics named Spinning
Song" amongst the best jazz records of 1997 in Cadence and
Coda magazines and it placed high on the cadence reader's poll
of that year.
Acoustic Guitar magazine dubbed it:
"one of the best guitar records ever recorded - by
anybody."
Duck Baker
loves his Moondog Guitars, he writes:
"You simply cannot beat these guitars in terms of
response, playability and shear volume. The dynamic range makes
it hard to reach for another instrument, no matter what you may
have to choose from. Add a state of the art pickup and a superb
low price and you have got the Ultimate Gigging Guitar."
