Steve Laury's Home of Contemporary Instrumental Guitar.
Born and raised in Vineland, NJ, Steve Laury picked up the guitar on a casual basis starting at the age of 9, but decided to seriously pursue the instrument, and a life in music, at 16. In his formative years, he found himself lured to the blues of B.B. King and the smooth groovin' guitar work of Wes Montgomery. Other artists who had a major influence on Laury in his early years were talents such as Herbie Hancock, George Benson, Pat Martino, Pat Metheny, Charlie Parker, and Chic Corea. Steve's music has also been heavily influenced by such Brazilian musicians as Carlos Jobim, Dori Caymni, Oscar Castro-Neves and L.A./Latin star Pancho Sanchez.
On the advice of a friend, young Steve Laury moved to Los Angeles to begin his professional musical career and immediately began playing with such notable musicians as bassist, Nathan East. It didn’t take long for other west coast musicians to realize Steve’s talents and after meeting Carl Evans (keyboards) and Mark Hunter (bass) they launched the popular band Fattburger. As a founding member of the San Diego based band, Laury became a central figure for the ground-breaking group ...

The buzz on Jennifer Batten began rising from the guitar underground in the late '80's. The guitar magazines promptly picked up on Jennifer, chronicling her savvy musicianship and highly original approach to the electric guitar in print. On Guitar for the Practicing Musician's premier compilation record, G.P.M.'s editor wrote, "It was Jennifer's version of John Coltrane's "Giant Steps" that was considered by her peers the 'scariest'and most requested cut on the disc."
At one point Batten was in 6 different bands at once playing everything from straight ahead rock, to metal, to fusion, to funk. Her video credits have included Natalie Cole's "Wild Women Do", Michael Jackson's "Moonwalker", Sara Hickman's "Take It Like A Man", and a feature interview in Hot Guitarist's video magazines premier issue ...

Paul Gilbert: guitar player:
Born in Carbondale, Illinois, into a Polish[citation needed] middle class family, Paul started playing guitar at the age of 5, but soon gave up, becoming frustrated with just learning simple nursery rhymes. Around age 11, he took up the guitar again, but with a skewed memory of the technique; he played only with upstrokes, used only the low 'E' string and only used his middle finger on the fretboard. Frustrated after trying to play the intro to 'Barracuda' by Heart, he took lessons and his teacher explained the error of his ways. His technique corrected, Gilbert continued practicing and by the age of 14 he developed a local band in Greensburg, PA named Missing Lynx. They played together for approximately two years and wrote their own material. After Missing Lynx he then went on to join another local band called Tau Zero, but left shortly after, and headed for California. He was spotlighted in Guitar Player Magazine alongside fellow up-and-comer Yngwie Malmsteen ...

5. paul asbell
Paul Asbell is one of America's premier acoustic guitar players. His new CD, Steel String Americana is now available.
From his early years, playing blues on Chicago's South Side, to his present multi-faceted career based out of northern Vermont, Paul has earned an underground reputation as a true "musician's musician". He has played and recorded with Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, Lightnin' Hopkins, Otis Rush, Magic Sam, Earl Hooker, Lightnin' Slim, Paul Butterfield, Sam Lay, Pops Staples, Donny Hathaway, and numerous others while in his hometown of Chicago, Ill. (Hit the "Bio" or "Discography" buttons at left for more detail!)
Paul moved to Vermont in the heady "back-to-the-land" days of 1971, where he still lives. He soon started playing with a head-spinningly diverse array of artists, including Big Mama Thornton, singer-songwriters Paul Siebel, Jim Ringer, Mary McCaslin, and Rosalie Sorrells, jazz greats Jon Hendricks, Bobby McFerrin, Sonny Stitt, and Nick Brignola, and many others. In 1978, seeking an outlet for more personal musical visions, he formed Kilimanjaro, and recorded 2 award-winning albums for Philo Records which led to several appearances at the Kool Jazz Festival at SPAC, the Atlanta Jazz Festival, the Montreal Jazz Festival, the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, the Roskilde Festival in Copenhagen, and numerous national tours and concert dates. In 1981, he and other members of Kilimajaro joined forces with a legendary saxophonist/blues singer to form Big Joe Burrell and the Unknown Blues Band, which remains a Northeast regional favorite to this day. (For upcoming dates, hit "Calendar" button above).
Recent performance/recording credits include David Bromberg, Paul Butterfield, Betty Carter, Joshua Redman, James Carter, Kermit Ruffins, Michael Ray, the Sun Ra Arkestra, The Wild Magnolias, John Stowell, guitar wunderkind Julian Lage, and former student Trey Anastasio. He has also taught guitar for over 30 years, at Dartmouth College, University of Vermont, St. Michaels College, Skidmore College, and presently at Middlebury College.
