U of I Jazz Guitar Ensemble - Fall 2007 Concert

Matt Warnock, Director

Held at the Studio Theater at Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, 11-11-2007. I played guitar on the Steve Reich piece.



Electric Counterpoint

A really cool minimalist piece by Steve Reich that was recorded at one point by Pat Metheny with overdubs. We performed it with ELEVEN electric guitars, two electric basses, and a vibes player!

The "Wall to Wall Guitar Festival" had been held at Krannert a few months before this concert. Matt Warnock was inspired to write this piece based on a riff John McLaughlin played repeatedly during his performance.
