Earl Klugh - Solo Fingerstyle Jazz Guitar Master!
Compiled & Edited By
Steven Herron
Earl Klugh was born in Detroit, Michigan on September 16,
1953. When he was 10 years old, he first studied the piano and then began to
play the guitar. His first interest was in folk guitar music. When Klugh was 13
he heard some recordings by
Chet Atkins and
suddenly realized the complete harmonic and melodic capability of the guitar.
This discovery was boosted when he heard the solo jazz guitar artistry of
George Van Eps,
Wes Montgomery,
George Benson,
Charlie Byrd, and
Laurindo Almeida.
While teaching the guitar in a music studio in Detroit, Earl
was heard by saxophonist Yusef Lateef. Lateef was so taken by the 16 year old
playing jazz on a nylon string concert classical guitar that he asked him to sit
in with his group at the local Baker's Keyboard Lounge. He then included Klugh
on his Atlantic Records CD "Suite 16".
Earl Klugh Plays "Dance With Me"
The following year Earl Klugh met
George Benson in
Baker's Lounge. Like Lateef, Benson was captivated by Klugh's jazz approach on
the concert classical guitar. They worked out some duets together and in 1973
Klugh joined Benson's new quartet. This was the start of a long and close
relationship between the two guitarists. They recorded two albums together on
the CTI record label.
Earl was then asked by Chick Corea to join his popular
"Return to Forever" group - but this time on electric guitar. He played concerts
and recorded for two months with this famous jazz rock group which featured
bassist Stanley Clarke and drummer Lenny White. Following this, Klugh performed
with vocalist Flora Purim and pianist George Shearing. This gave him valuable
experience playing with a variety of top jazz artists.
Earl Klugh Plays "Cast Your Fate To The Wind"
Ever since that time Earl Klugh has gone on to become one of
the most successful fingerstyle jazz guitarists of the day. Although some of his
recordings are in a commercial vein, his current trio recordings with acoustic
bass and drums show that he is a very skilled and imaginative jazz artist with a
unique approach to playing instrumental renditions of jazz and pop standards on
a classical guitar!
His music has actually been called everything from pop/jazz
and crossover to fusion and smooth, but in fact Earl Klugh is a melodic acoustic
guitar player with a beautiful tone who decides to play on a nylon string
classical guitar. He has regularly stated that he does not view himself as a
jazz guitarist and he feels that his primary influence on guitar is
Chet Atkins. Having discovered his own
approach and sound early on, Earl has continued to be consistent throughout his
professional career earning the respect of other guitar players and music
critics alike and still performs frequently at jazz clubs and festivals.
