On Sunday September 29th at 7:00 PM The Charlottesville Jazz Society and WTJU are pleased to bring guitarist and composer Michael Musillami and his New York based trio back to Charlottesville for a concert in UVA’s Brooks Hall.
In a career that spans more than 25 years, Michael Musillami has worked extensively as a performer, bandleader/composer and educator. Critics have called him "a superior guitarist" (John McDonough, DownBeat), and "an adroit and creative musician" (Michael J. West, JazzTimes). The Boston Phoenix's Jon Garelick adds, "Musillami sounds familiar - this is swinging jazz guitar, after all - but not quite like anyone else."
