Oliver Waitze, one of the most talented contemporary guitar players, is revered for his exquisite taste, tone, and ability to play genres ranging from bluegrass to jazz to hot swing, latin and beyond. In addition to his love of bluegrass, Oliver developed an interest in swing and jazz through his exposure to the music of Django Reinhardt, David Grisman, Bela Fleck & The Flecktones and Michael Hedges.
Oliver also explored the haunting latin sounds of Brazilian choro music.
This album is dedicated to Luthier Michael Hornick of Shanti Guitars. All guitars heard on this CD were built by Michael Hornick. So you will hear fingerstyle, flatpicking and tapping on this exciting cd!! Check it out!!
Special Guest is David Grisman on mandolin! And you will find a very special live performance.....
Oliver's mastery of guitar, mandolin, violin and banjo and his ability to swing gracefully between Jazz, Dawg Music, Bluegrass and Brazilian Choro is rare in the world of instrumentalists.
Oliver was invited to play several times with the David Grisman Quintet to demonstrate his virtuosity. In the late 80's Oliver played with world class violinist Regina Carter.
