Program of standards, classic bebop, grooving boogaloo, sultry ballads, and original compositions, the dynamic duo of Rosenwinkel and Bernstein are backed by young lion bassist Alexander Claffy, and the masterful Joe Farnsworth on the drums. The two guitarists’ disparate styles (Bernstein the refined contemporary traditionalist, and Rosenwinkel the deeply rooted modern innovator) meld and complement one another in perfect synchronicity, the product of 35 years of shared musical history and mutual admiration. Since their initial meeting in the bustling NYC jazz scene of the early 1990’s, Rosenwinkel and Bernstein have each built a vast and enduring oeuvre of original compositions, recordings, and sideman work with some of the biggest names in jazz- Sonny Rollins, Joe Henderson, Paul Motian, and Pharoah Sanders to name but a few. The Rosenwinkel/Bernstein quartet is joyous presentation of two masters at the pinnacle of their craft in action, a
performance guaranteed to capture the attention of listeners old and new.
