Jack DeSalvo
New York City Jazz Guitarist and Producer
Summer 2022
Joel Shapira is a multifaceted guitarist with a singular sound and vision. Along with pianist Larry McDonough, they have exceeded the dream of many a guitar/piano duo by not only offering a tribute to our heros Evans and Hall, but they have created an artifact of great beauty. Joel and Larry were not afraid to speak with their own voices while honoring two classic albums/performances by two of the greatest names in jazz history, thereby elevating their own names in the jazz firmament as well as our joy in listening.
