Jazz Guitarist Charlie Ballantine at Seneca One Friday, March 18!
FROM ALL ABOUT JAZZ:
“At 33, Ballantine has recorded eight albums and they are all gems. His range is wide and eclectic with tributes to Bob Dylan, Thelonious Monk, and Kurt Vonnegut. But his December 2022 release stands out as a masterpiece of artistry, melody, and deep feeling. Falling Grace doesn’t hit one over the head right away, but you might find you can’t stop playing it over and over again. Falling Grace may be Ballantine’s Kind of Blue (Columbia, 1959) for the 21st Century. It flows, grooves, dances, and soars above the crowd.”
Charlie Ballantine is one of the most promising rising star jazz guitarists today. Fabulous compositions and music. You really need to make this! To encourage you to support this artist, we are going to make this a $10 at-the-door event.
