John Stowell
John Stowell began his successful career in the
early 1970's with guitar lessons in his native Connecticut from guitarist
Linc Chamberland and from pianist John Mehegan, a respected jazz educator
at the Juilliard School of Music and Yale University.
Several years later
he met noted bassist David Friesen in New York City, and they formed a duo
that recorded and toured prolifically for seven years, with performances
in Europe, Canada, the United States and Australia. The duo continues to
perform thirty years after their first meeting.
In 1983 John and David Friesen joined flutist Paul Horn and Paul's son
Robin Horn for a historic tour of the Soviet Union. This was the first
time in forty years that an American jazz group had been invited to play
public performances in Russia. In 1993, 1995 and 1998 John returned to
Russia, playing in numerous cities. His two sold-out performances in Kursk
may be the first appearances there by an American jazz musician.
John continues to tour, record and teach internationally. He has been
Artist-In-Residence at various schools in Germany, Indonesia, Argentina as
well as in the
United States and Canada. He also served as assistant director and performer in
Oregon Public Broadcastings's PDX Jazz Summit in 1991, and since 1995 has
been a contributing columnist to a number of magazines, including
Downbeat, Guitar Player, Canadian Musician, Soundcheck, and Guitar Club.

John Stowell Plays "How Deep Is The Ocean"
John Stowell - Stowell Plays Stowell - DVD
*Out Of Print*
John Stowell is known internationally as
a musician with a unique approach to guitar supported by a sophisticated harmonic concept.
John has been performing solo guitar concerts for over thirty years and has
captivated audiences all over the world. This DVD captures an intimate
performance of his original compositions in the same format as his solo concerts
and demonstrates John's daringly original approach to improvised music. This
collection of original compositions allows the listener to follow the
development of John's ideas and organizational principles, both creating
progressions of chords and creating progressions of colors and rhythms. In his
compositions John often succeeds in reaching a point where the goal, as composer
Paul Dukas put it, is not to create dissonances but "make multiple resonances
vibrate". The combination of John's interesting compositions and enjoyable and
inspiring performances make this a unique opportunity to experience both
composed and improvised ideas from a master musician! Songs include: "Behind the
Scenes, Fret Less Blues, Friendly Giant, Fun With Fruit, Ghost in the Corner,
Haiku, Heres or Theres, I Wish, Laughing River, Lonely Blue Angel, Social
Butterfly, Stay Right There, The Big Chair, The Great Escape, When Jasper Grows
Up, Wybleing."
