Steve Giordano's one of the greats - beyond just a jazz guitarist, he's truly an artist and mentor with the utmost integrity.
Steve takes an impressionistic approach to his craft and conveys his forward thinking ideas with unprecedented ease. Whereas many jazz educators communicate in broad terms, Steve paints in subtle detail all the beauty & fragility with which the music can speak...and does so by example, addressing the tangibles of structure & time while encouraging the exploration of intangible elements that make jazz the true art form that it is.
I've left many a lesson with not only the kind of humility that encouraged further exploration, but the kind of confidence that provoked inspiration - the mark of a great educator.
