I am a jazz guitarist based in Durham, North Carolina. I play guitar in a variety of settings from solo to organ trio to big band. I mostly perform in North Carolina and elsewhere onthe East Coast. Though I have also performed in Russia and throughout Europe. Performances in Europe include five times at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland.
Most of my gigging these days is duos and trios, and of course solo. As much as I love playing in small groups, I've really been having fun with playing a whole lot of solo guitarlately. I've posted a few solo guitar videos here for anyone to check out, I'll keep adding more as I have time.
As of early 2007 I have released ten self-produced CDs as a leader or co-leader. I've got two trio projects in the works for the coming year, stay tuned...
I am available for any kind of sideman or studio jazz work and, in addition to my established projects, I can assemble a variety of jazz ensembles to play at any public or privateevent anywhere in the world.
You can find many more videos, mp3s, and order my CDs at my website KevinVanSant.com
