Ivor Mairants - Legendary Jazz, Flamenco & Classical Guitarist!
Compiled & Edited By Steven Herron

    Ivor Mairants was born in Rypin, Poland on July 18, 1908 and was well-known throughout the world to guitar players of all musical styles! After some 60 years as a virtuoso guitarist, instructor, composer, and being the leading United Kingdom music instrument retailer, he devoted the last few remaining years of his life to composing and performing music for the guitar.

    Ivor Mairants moved with his household to the United Kingdom in 1913. He took up the banjo at the age of 15 and ended up being a performing musician at the age of 20. From the 1930s on he was a prominent banjoist then guitar player for many of Britain's leading dance bands including those of Ambrose, Roy Fox, Lew Stone, Geraldo, and Ted Heath.

    In the 1960s and 1970s his outstanding guitar playing was commonly heard on television, radio, film soundtracks, and on numerous recordings with the popular Mantovani Orchestra and with Manuel And His Music Of The Mountains. His recording of the "Adagio" section from Joaquin Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez" with Manuel racked up sales of over one million copies! His guitar quintet broadcast regularly in the late 1950s on the British Broadcasting Company's "Guitar Club" series.

    Of specific importance to guitar players is the fact that Ivor Mairants dedicated a lot of his time to writing music and instructional method books for the guitar. His solo guitar transcription books and technique books for all styles of guitar playing including flamenco, classical, and jazz - from publishers both in the U.K. and the U.S.A. - have enjoyed terrific success over the years!

    In the 1950s Ivor Mairants established his Central School Of Dance Music in London. All instruments were taught at this innovative facility, however special emphasis was placed on the guitar. Several of his past students are today some of Britain's leading guitarists. In 1958, together with his spouse Lily, he opened The Ivor Mairants Music Center. This was Britain's very first professional guitar shop and it was situated in the heart of London's West End.

    For several years many of the world's finest guitars and guitar accessories were presented in Britain by Ivor Mairants at his shop. The Ivor Mairants Music Center became a Mecca for professional guitar players and for amateur guitar players at all levels of ability. Because of his unique understanding and musical abilities, Ivor Mairants was over the years often utilized as a specialist consultant for leading instrument makers and importers.

    From the 1930s on Ivor Maiants was likewise a prolific columnist in several leading music journals consisting of Melody Maker, B.M.G. and Classical Guitar. In 1980 his extremely acclaimed bio "My Fifty Fretting Years" was published by Ashley Mark Publishing in the U.K. and in 1995 his splendid 2 volume work "The Great Jazz Guitarists" - probably THE most complete collection of note-for-note transcriptions of historical jazz guitar solos - was published by Music Maker Publications in Cambridge, U.K.

    Ivor Mairants made an outstanding and unique contribution to the world of guitar in Britain. Over the previous 50 years there can be very few British guitar players who have not profited from this contribution. He was a member of The Worshipful Company of Musicians, an ancient and prominent British guild, and a Freeman of The City Of London.

    In 1997 The Worshipful Company of Musicians inaugurated a new annual guitar scholarship competition called "The Ivor Mairants Guitar Award", which will certainly stay a vital part of the enormous legacy this irreplaceable figure has left for future generations of guitar players! Ivor Mairants passed away on February 20, 1998 but fortunately lived long enough to see his guitar scholarship award competition become a reality.
