EWAN MACKENZIE with guest Guitarist OLIVER STEFFEN

Ewan MacKenzie has been playing guitar for many years in all styles, and since devoting himself to the genre sometime ago, has come to be regarded as one of Australia's finest Gypsy Jazz guitarists. His playing is fluid and passionate and he writes melodic, evocative material in the style. His soloing is warm and articulate while still retaining that spontaneity and creativity that is inherent in jazz improvisation. For his visit to the Folk Redlands, Ewan intends to present a selection of songs from his 40 years as a guitarist/composer/singer. He'll also play some instrumental music in the style of the great gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt with the help of Oliver Steffen.
