California Guitar Trio
About This Event
Formed in Los Angeles in 1991 and shaped by Robert Fripp’s Guitar Craft and New Standard Tuning, California Guitar Trio blends acoustic and electric techniques to treat guitars as both rhythmic and orchestral instruments. At the Iridium the group — founding members Paul Richards and Bert Lams joined by Chapman Stick player Tom Griesgraber — presents a live jazz set that alternates tightly notated arrangements with open-ended tonal exploration.
