All Blues
I'm so excited to share with you my latest recording, "All Blues: The Blue Guitar Project", featuring seven of the original 22 Blue Archtop Guitars commissioned by Scott Chinery and featured in exhibits at the Smithsonian and Metropolitan Museum. This year commemorates the 30th anniversary of the project - most of the guitars were built in 1996 - and serves as a tribute to the incredible luthiers who created them. The recording also features two of the newly commissioned Blue Guitars by the Archtop Foundation, The Blue Fugue by Tyler Wells (LHT Guitars) and the Blue Princess by Maegen Wells.
In January 2026, I recorded twenty new songs showcasing the diversity of these incredible instruments. The recording features the guitars in a jazz trio setting with bass and drums, solo guitar arrangements of jazz standards, Bach, original fingerstyle pieces, traditional Irish, plus overdubbed duos of Bach inventions and guitar trios of songs by Strayhorn and Morricone. I was fortunate to record with the following Blue Guitars:
La Cremona Azzurra by Bob Benedetto; Collings Blue Custom by Bill Collings; Chester Avenue by Bill Comins; Super 400 Custom by Gibson; Equinox Custom by Brad Nickerson; Blue Mingione by Tom Ribbecke; and of course, the Blue Centura Deluxe by Jimmy D'Aquisto, which served as the inspiration for the Chinery Collection of Blue Archtops. These guitars were all recorded acoustically and beautifully by John McVey at Cinder Sound Studio in Longmont, CO with Coles and vintage M49 Neumann microphones that have been used to record symphony orchestras. The last two pieces feature 2023 archtops by Tyler Wells and Maegen Wells plugged in to a special Henriksen Amplifiers prototype design.
