Gypsy Jazz Guitar in the style of Django

notes

Roots in jazz- Reynold's more recent listeners may not realize that he
started out as a jazz guitarist. In his late teens and early twenties
Reynold released several jazz guitar albums which garnered some five star
reviews. At the time(1973-1981) Reynold was also recognized by the
internationally distributed Guitar Player Magazine when they listed him in
their jazz player poll along side such greats as Jim Hall, Joe Pass and Pat
Martino.

The big "C" cancer diagnosis- On December 25, 1981 Reynold was diagnosed with cancer. After his eventual cure and recovery he embarked on a mission of self discovery and world travel that led him to test a variety of musical waters. Since 1983 he has released 15 albums that covered musical genres from Pop, World Music, Contemporary Folk to Classical. Many of Reynold's original songs showcased his self-effacing humor and led to an introspective book of poetry Travel through the Middle Ages.

Now Full Circle- Reynold has truly come full circle with his return to jazz
guitar on this latest CD. With all of this musical and life experience
behind him, he again embraces his passion for the guitar and is playing
better than ever.

  • Virtuoso player. First read about him in Guitar Player many years ago.

    I first read about Reynold in Guitar Player Magazine many years ago when he was but merely 20. His chops remain excellent though he has now gone from trad jazz to his early Django influence.
