GIT Presents Peter Sprague and Pass the Drum Oct 25, 2007
On Thursday, October 25, GIT welcomes guitarist Peter Sprague and his multi-talented band Pass the Drum for an exciting World music concert featuring a blend of Brazilian, Jazz, Reggae and Pop styles.
Sprague, a former GIT instructor, has produced and/or played on over 190 recordings for artists including Art Pepper, Hubert Laws, Chick Corea, Alfonse Mouzon, Al Jarreau, Joe Farrell, John Pattuttuci, Mitch Foreman, Ray Brown, John Klemmer, Eddie Harris, Stanley Clarke, Eric Mariental, Joe Pass, Sergio Mendez, Kevyn Lettau, David Benoit, Peter Erskine, Bob Mintzer, Alex Acuna, and Charlie Haden, and many more. He has authored eleven books, including The Peter Sprague Guitar Technique, and has transcribed six books of Chick Corea’s music.
