Music:Member Since: 1/26/2006Band Website: jimcampilongo.com Influences: Star Trek philosophy Sounds Like: VILLAGE VOICE NYC JAN 2008"...Wiles and chops make the guitarist what he is: an engaging improviser whose interest in entertainment is equal to his interest in art. His supple moves can keep an audience enthralled - meaning their asses wiggle and their minds jiggle. Few connect the dots between jazz and twang like this guy..." Jim Macnie TIME OUT NOV 2007 JIM CAMPILONGO RESIDENCY IN *TOP 50 ESSENTIAL NYC SECRETS*"...New York has no shortage of guitar heroes but few cover as many bases as Jim Campilongo..." "...reveals a range that extends from seductive country-swing to atmospheric jazz and well beyond..." BILLBOARD MAR 2007"...an overall killer course on How To Play Your Instrument Putting All Others To Shame. The man can jam. His instrumental compositions are practically lyrical, mixing blues with jazz with country. A real treasure..." DOWNBEAT DEC 2006"...HEAVEN IS CREEPY 4 STARS OUT OF A POSSIBLE 4 STARS..." VILLAGE VOICE NYC OCT 2006"...Campilongo takes his (as Jim Macnie so accurately coined) "Twangadelica" stepwise into gorgeousness..." USA TODAY"... Cry Me a River - an eerie instrumental filled with his rubbery twang-jazz improvisations..." GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE MARCH 2007"... Campilongo keeps each composition air-tight with nary a sign of filler or fluff, and his playing continues to exhibit a brilliant musicality that relies as much on a finely tuned sense of space as it does on neck wrangling licks..." VINTAGE GUITAR MARCH 2007" .... his jazz and country instincts and adventurous nature help make him one of today's really unique player...." EAST BAY EXPRESS JULY 2007"...His music has echoes of Django Reinhardt, Buck Owens, Bach, Duke Ellington, the Beatles, and a panoply of folk, blues, jazz, and rock styles. Comped chords, delicate filigreed fills, long quavering sustained notes, and shimmering overtones slide together to produce a deep, moody, impressionistic sound..." SING OUT! MARCH 2007"....Multi-faceted, genre-crossing ideas expertly expressed by a trio exhibiting phenomenal chemistry throughout..." PASTE MARCH 2007Jim Campilongo "Heaven Is Creepy" "...Norah acquits herself well on the standard "Cry Me a River..." GUITAR WORLD DEC 2006".... his unrushed approach and generous tone create a comfortable, burnished grace that's distinctly all his own...." GUITAR ONE DEC 2006".... Long master of the Telecaster, Jim Campilongo has a style that can be described as a cross between Chet Atkins and Thelonius Monk...." BLUES REVIEW FEB 2007"...the release is really a treatise on what an adventurous guitar player who merges jazz, blues, rock, and country can accomplish..." Jim Campilongo Electric Trio - Monkey in a Movie Add to My Profile | More Videos Type of Label: Indie |
