Jazz guitarists (hopefully) featured at Athenaeum winter series

Jazz concert impresario Daniel Atkinson has experimented with all types of presentation ideas in the 32 years he’s been bringing music to San Diego. It’s been a while, however, since he focused a show on music from one instrument, as he’s about to do with the guitar for the upcoming Winter series at the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library. “I found that concept to be too limiting, when it came to putting a series together,” he says. “If someone really good became available that didn’t match whatever theme I had, I would have to pass on them. It was a series of happy coincidences that led to these four concerts that all feature guitarists.”
The series began this week with a rare appearance from Austrian guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel, leading a trio with American bassist Scott Colley and drummer Brian Blade, both favorites of Atkinson’s. “You could say that they both walk on water, musically, so all three are just amazing, top-level musicians.”
