|
CLick here for news and updates! Check us out at the Rhythm Room, Wednesday June 20th in Phoenix! This is Bob Shimizu's Summer String Fling - a celebration of the guitar! Bob Shimizu appears with guitar greats Adam Armijo, The Sahnas Brothers, Michael Ripoll - AND Phoenix-based musicians Lamar Gaines - Keys, Justin James - Bass and Buddy Banks - Drums. This should be a LOT of fun! "in the best tradition of the 1980s, jazz guitarist/composer Bob Shimizu's relaxing sound and welcoming tone echoes the style of guitarists like Lee Ritenour and Larry Carlton". ~ Jazz Times Magazine "Many will rush to slap the "smooth jazz" label on Shimizu while forgetting "smooth jazz" is a radio format and not a genre of music. If comparisons must be made to avoid type casting then Shimizu is a highly lyrical player with the clean runs of a Kenny Burrell and the improvisational skills of a Wes Montgomery, "First & Monroe"is a cut above most stereotypical "smooth jazz", with variety and improvisation that boils down to real musicians in a real studio playing real music...."
