 SOLO JAZZ GUITAR
by Jake Reichbart
Born in Goteborg, Sweden, guitar virtuoso Jake Reichbart lived in Winnipeg, Tel Aviv and Amsterdam before settling in Ann Arbor, MI in 1991. Along his musical journey, he has picked up numerous praises and awards for his performances and recordings, such as the Emily Remler Guitar Scholarship award and winner of the 1992 WEMU Jazz competition for a vocal/guitar duo. While a noted bandleader and an in-demand sideman, Reichbart’s forte lies in his instrumental solo work, tastefully interpreting classic jazz and pop standards in his unique style.
