Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

December 12, 2007 | Luthiers Consortium (2008)

Most musicians are aware of the winter US NAMM Show. January 17-20 in Anaheim, CA, a gathering of some of the coolest new gear and industry personalities; though it's an "industry only" event, there are plenty of opportunities for some interesting side activities, like the Luthiers Consortium, just a few blocks away from the convention center. One of our favorite builders (and JazzMando sponsor), Michael Lewis will be participating at this gathering of handmade instruments makers exhibiting after the NAMM show closes. It will be at the The Islander, 424 Katella (new location this year); plan to come see and play some killer guitars and mandolins. Premium wood and strings, plenty of picking, some personalities in impromptu jams, there may be an adult beverage or two as well.

We hope to have one of our staff reporters there to check in.

Read Michael Lewis review.
