Jim Boltralik, a
self-taught guitarist, has developed an original style from a variety
of influences ranging from Doc Watson to John McLaughlin.
For over 25 years he has been involved in many unique and original
music forms. Working with the multi-talented Tom Langan, he
has composed and performed music from classical guitar duets to
Jazz-Fusion. Working with singer-songwriter Debra Tracey, he
found an interesting niche with contemporary folk music.
"In many ways [contemporary folk music] made me a better
player," he says. "Having always been a lover of fast,
technical playing, I found myself challenged to express more with
less notes." |
