LOVE & BOSA NOVA
Guitarist Nate Najar is making it known world-wide that he is one of this decade’s finest modern jazz exponents, and not by saying it, but rather playing it. He uses a distinctive technique to convey his artistic prowess- not many artists play acoustic classical guitar with right hand classical technique, yet it is the perfect choice for Najar’s comprehensive approach. Not restricted to single notes or chords, Nate seamlessly weaves melody, harmony and rhythmic freedom. The result is music that is swinging, emotional, inventive and interesting.

Recorded on August 25th and 26th of 2021 at Najar’s studio in Largo, Florida, Jazz Samba Pra Sempre is a joyful salute to a bossa nova classic. “We really had a ball making this record,” said the accomplished fingerstyle guitarist. “It was one of the most joyous and easiest times I’ve had making a jazz record. It was two days of just, ‘This is what we’re all here to do.’ And man, what a good time we had.” |
