Stay cool in the library with Dave Giardina who will be playing a selection of gypsy jazz music.
With roots in the sixties folk- rock culture, Dave studied classical guitar with Sharon Isbin and Philip Defremery, Jazz with Sal Salvador and Bob Kobus and Flamenco with Mario Escudero and Paco Pena (Spain).
Dave is an award recipient member of the CT Commission on Culture and Tourism and his compositions are featured on two releases by the CT Classical Guitar Society of which he is a founding, professional member. His latest release, Fiesta Grande, features music of Mexico.
Considered a versatile, superb performer by other musicians, Dave expresses an irresistible toe-tapping energy as effortlessly as he traces a delicate melodic line. He brings to each performance an extensive repertoire and years of training in different traditions—the clarity and precision of classical technique, the explosive and exotic sound of flamenco, the smoothly shifting harmonies of jazz, the exuberant energy of traditional Latin music and the classic power chords and riffs of rock ‘n roll.
