Private lullabyes
David Burgess played guitar last night in Seattle at the Nordstom recital hall. His program was Brazilian Music. David is a solo classical guitarist. The music was enchanting, sassy, well played. What I found most memorable, what I woke this morning thinking of, was his tuning. Between pieces, after he speaks of the next selection (each piece was a wonderful selection), he tunes his guitar. Pretty normal stuff. As David does it, I felt I was listening to private moments, private lullabyes that just made everything right. They were short phrases, played softly, leading nowhere; right where a lullaby leads.

Although I enjoy classical guitar when I hear it, I do not seek it out (just too much of a rocker, I suppose). I did indeed enjoy the few pieces on his site.
ReplyDeleteIt must have been even better than you describe to hear it live.
I'm not sure, Doug, that I sought this out so much as it was available on a night that I was too. Next month is Cascade jazz Trio - so I will be effusing on that soon. There are so many things available on the radio here I havent' even tuned into a straight rock & roll station yet.
ReplyDeleteYes, it sounded better than I can describe...so I stuck with the parts I could.

I like Spanish guitar as well as anything. I guess that's classical, but I draw a distinction in my mind. If he played Brazilian selections, I really envy the experience.
ReplyDeleteLove this music, thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteThose guys are really good. I'm good but I don't play that style. I do love to hear it and steal a lick or two just for fun...
