There’s
hardly a musical context in which the gifted guitarist Vic Juris
has not worked since beginning his professional career nearly a
half–century ago. He’s been half of a superb guitar duo with Larry
Coryell, an invaluable contributor to the sax–led groups of Richie Cole
and Dave Liebman, and a special guest with the Mingus Big Band – just to
name three high–profile associations. Juris made his recording debut
with saxophonist Eric Kloss in 1975 and gigged with Barry Miles’ fusion
group; his off–and–on association with Cole began in 1976, and Vic
appears on some of the altoist’s finest recordings. The
guitarist's newest, Vic Juris Plays Victor Young presents Vic and the
trio settling into the works of that great American Songbook composer.
“Without much fanfare, guitarist Vic Juris has been accumulating an
impressive body of recorded work…that showcases his flowing, warm-toned,
bop-inflected lyricism and his penchant for unbridled swinging.”
