The Guitar Mastery Of Geoff Muldaur DVD

Geoff Muldaur is one of the great voices and musical forces to emerge from the folk, blues and folk-rock scenes centred in Cambridge, MA and Woodstock, NY. During the 1960's and 1970's, Geoff made a series of highly influential recordings as a founding member of the Jim Kweskin Jug Band and the Paul Butterfield's Better Days group, as well as collaborations with then-wife Maria and other notables (Bonnie Raitt, Eric Von Schmidt, Jerry Garcia, etc.). He left the stage and recording world in the mid-1980's for a working sabbatical but continued, however, to hone his craft, albeit 'flying beneath radar'. He composed scores for film and television, garnering an Emmy in the process, and produced offbeat albums for the likes of Lenny Pickett and the Borneo Horns and the Richard Greene String Quartet. And his definitive recording of 'Brazil' provided the seed for - and was featured in - Terry Gilliam's film of the same title. In this Guitar Artistry DVD, Geoff talks about his influences as well as his approaches to arranging music to the guitar, providing an intimate portrait of a great artist.
