Guitarist John Hart has established the status of leading figure in the modern jazz guitar scene with highly acclaimed releases from Blue Note and Concord in the ‘90s. Here his quartet featuring saxophonist Dick Oatts, plys a mixture of original compositions and songs by Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington, Luis Miguel and others.

He has performed and recording with Jack McDuff, Terumasa Hino, Jimmy Smith, and Lou Donaldson, among others, as well as leading his own group. Hart now divides his time between New York and Miami, Florida where he is a lecturer at his alma mater the University of Miami Frost School of Music. ”He’s an amazingly inventive soloist and composer who is not afraid to step out of his comfort zone.” - John Heidt, Vintage Guitar Magazine
