“…THE WORK OF HIS HANDS SPEAKS GRACE AND PASSION AND TIMELESS KNOWLEDGE” STING
This will be a jazz experience of the highest order: all-time guitar great Larry Carlton in concert with his quartet. The four-time Grammy Award winner is a one of the music industry’s most influential and prolific guitarists.
A member of jazz supergroups The Crusaders, Fourplay, and Stanley Clark and Friends, Carlton has also collaborated with many of contemporary music’s greatest artists including Eric Clapton, John Lennon, Carole King and Billy Joel. His distinctive guitar playing was the secret weapon on such hits as Joni Mitchell’s Court and Spark and Michael Jackson’s Off the Wall, while Rolling Stone described his solo on Steely Dan’s “Kid Charlemagne” as one of the greatest rock guitar solos of all time.
As well as receiving Guitar Player Magazine’s Lifetime Achievement Award, Carlton has been recognised with Premier Guitar’s “Titan of Tone” Award and been nominated for 19 Grammy Awards during his three-decade long career.
