John Etheridge’s Sweet Chorus
www.johnetheridge.com
One of the world’s most respected jazz guitarists, John formed Sweet Chorus as his personal tribute to his mentor Stephane Grappelli. Taking its cue from the Hot Club of France, John’s dazzling guitar work fuses with the scintillating violin of Chris Garrick, this is a must for fans of Django Reinhardt & Grappelli & swinging acoustic jazz.
“A man of many parts, the guitarist John Etheridge has journeyed from the furthest shores of jazz-rock fusion with 1970's pioneers Soft Machine to more recent collaborations with classical musicians such as Nigel Kennedy and John Williams. His ongoing group Zappatistas carries a torch for the tortuously intricate music of the late Frank Zappa.” David Sinclair, The Times
