CABARET TONIGHT IN NYC: CD RELEASE WEEK FOR EARL KLUGH'S "HANDPICKED" AT THE BLUE NOTE
GRAMMY Award-winning guitar virtuoso Earl Klugh will release his new, largely solo CD, HandPicked on Heads Up (part of the Concord Music Group) at THE BLUE NOTE(131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) on Tuesday through Saturday, July 20th through April 4th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. Since Klugh released his inaugural album in 1976, the Detroit-born master of the acoustic-classical guitar has become one of the most imitated icons of the instrument, issued dozens of discs, 23 of which have been on Billboard's top-10 list of jazz albums and 5 that made it to the No. 1 slot. During that time, Klugh's recordings also received 12 GRAMMY nominations (the latest of which was for his 2008 CD The Spice of Life) - and his collaboration with pianist Bob James, One on One, walked away with the 1980 GRAMMY Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album. Klugh is no stranger to collaborative work. His recordings, One on One, Two of a Kind and Cool with Bob James, and Collaboration with George Benson featured backing bands. However, HandPicked showcases Klugh's first recorded duets in the purest sense of the word. No band, just beautifully arranged string duets between Earl and his friends. There is a $20-#35 cover.
