John Carlini

    Guitarist John Carlini is named by Frets Magazine as a founding member of the revolutionary West Coast new acoustic music movement of the 1970's. John was the lead guitarist in the ground-breaking new acoustic music group, the Great American Music Band.

    Ten years earlier, after discovering the Wheeling, West Virginia, Jamboree on the radio, John, the son of a New York Philharmonic violinist, made the New York City folk music scene while still a teenager. Sitting in for Jim Rooney with Bill Keith's band, he met David Grisman. In the next two decades this fortuitous union would change the world's perception of what acoustic string music could be.

    John Carlini is currently developing his new acoustic music with two bands - The John Carlini Jazz Ensemble, showcasing jazz-oriented aspects of the music, and Over the Edge, defining a harmonically advanced bluegrass-based music. Carlini's masterful musicianship is widely acknowledged. Guitar Player magazine calls him "a wily mainstream jazz veteran with an unerring feel for all idioms."
