Juan Serrano – The Most Incredible Flamenco Music Guitar Player Ever!

The unbelievable flamenco guitar technique of Juan Serrano has been experienced and enjoyed by millions around the world! Critics have termed him the “finest flamenco guitar performer living today” but Juan Serrano is much more than simply an extremely gifted flamenco guitar player. He is also an excellent and uncommon musician who can communicate his art on a very personal degree – in contrast to some of the other good Spanish flamenco guitar performers who typically only play in a rigid concert situation where the listener receives little orientation concerning flamenco from the artist. Serrano speaks both English and Spanish which allows him to give enlightening explanations through his performances that give his audiences a rare glimpse into flamenco guitar compositions. He has performed on important tv and radio programs all over the world. Additionally, he has also written “Flamenco – Body and Soul”, a history of flamenco guitar music for the afficionado published by the Press at California State University as well as collection books of flamenco guitar tabs and flamenco guitar tablatures.

Serrano’s mastery of flamenco guitar music not only comes from his many years of self-discipline and examination of the flamenco guitar, but also simply because he grew up in Cordoba, Spain, the birthplace of this rich and dazzling music! At the age of nine Serrano was studying under his father, a professional flamenco guitar performer, and mastering the traditions of flamenco that is a fusion of Jewish, Moorish, Christian, and Gypsy music elements between the 8th and 15th centuries in Andalucia, Spain. Juan Serrano made his professional debut at age 13 and as a teen earned a popularity all over Spain and Europe as a skillful flamenco guitarist. He performed and made recordings with the top flamenco music, dance, and theatrical companies. At this time Juan also started his career as a solo concert flamenco guitarist. His home town of Cordoba was so proud of his accomplishments that they replaced the bell in the city clock with recordings of his flamenco guitar pieces which would be heard on the hour – 24 hours a day!

The city of Cordoba additionally awarded Juan Serrano the “Porto de Oro”. This internationally-acclaimed honor is awarded once every 10 years and Serrano is the sole guitar performer ever to be so honored. Juan was awarded the “Page One Ball” from the Newspaper Guild of New York for his outstanding flamenco guitar recitals. He was additionally awarded the “Medalla de Oro” from the Spanish Academy of Fine Arts, the Catedra de Flamencologia from Jerez, Spain and an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Fairfield University in Fairfield, Connecticut. The town of Fresno, California bestowed Serrano with the “Fabulous Fresnan” and “Horizon” awards. Juan Serrano is the sole flamenco guitar player in the world with a doctorate in humane letters and a tenured faculty position at a major university. He created the flamenco guitar course at California State University and chairs the flamenco guitar department there. In addition to his educating duties, Juan is much sought after as a performer, for master classes, and as a guest lecturer on the history of flamenco guitar music. Luckily for aspiring guitarists, Serrano has gone on to release numerous flamenco guitar tab books and instructional DVD courses that teach his solo guitar pieces and all of the techniques that he employs to play them.

Mississippi Fred McDowell concert at Newport Folk Festival on 27 Jul 68 $6.98 Following the extraordinary backstage jam (also available here in the Concert Vault) that was piped live over the PA system prior to the July 27, 1968 evening performers, Newport Festival director George Wein, announced another unscheduled surprise to begin that evening’s program. On hand and eager to play a few numbers was one of the most important rural blues guitarists to come out of the 1960s blues revival, Mississippi Fred McDowell. At age 55, McDowell had been discovered in 1959, when he was first recorded by music historian, Alan Lomax. Those recordings, which would see release spread out over multiple compilations, Deep South-Sacred and Sinful and Yazoo Delta-Blues and Spirituals on the Prestige label; and Sounds of the South and Roots of the Blues issued by Atlantic Records, announced McDowell to a new legion of fans. These recordings would launch McDowell’s career as a professional musician. Two subsequent 1964 solo albums, released on Arhoolie and Testemant, would cement his reputation, leading to international touring the following year, where he encountered enthusiastic response everywhere he went. In America, McDowell became a frequent performer on the club and festival circuit. Although considered one of the great Mississippi Delta blues men, McDowell was originally from Tennessee, having relocated to Como, Mississippi, in the early 1940s, where he found steady work farming, while performing at local picnics and dances. McDowell would be among the first (if not the first) of the northern Mississippi blues musicians to achieve wide recognition for his music. Although one of his most ubiquitous quotes was the declaration, “I do not play rock ‘n’ roll,” he was not averse to playing an electric guitar. McDowell also took a personal interest in sharing his technique with younger rock and blues musicians. His influence can clearly be heard in subsequent blues recordings by younger Mississippi blues men like R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough, and he per

Spider John Koerner concert at Ash Grove on 01 Feb 67 $9.98 In direct contrast to the majority of young musicians pursuing American folk and blues during the early 1960’s revivals, “Spider” John Koerner was a true innovator and original. Surprisingly, Koerner never intended on becoming a professional musician. As a teenager, he was far more interested in aviation, which in 1956 brought him to the University of Minnesota to pursue studies in aeronautical engineering. Two years later, at the age of 20, Koerner met fellow student, Harry Weber, who first introduced him to folk music. Weber played guitar himself and exposed Koerner to the likes of blues musicians like Josh White, whom he immediately took to. It was at this point that Koerner’s interest in folk and blues music began. Shortly thereafter, Koerner dropped out and joined the Marine Corps in pursuit of travel, winding up at Camp Pendleton in San Diego for basic training. This didn’t last long as following a few too many beers, Koerner got himself into an altercation that led to his discharge and, by the fall of 1959, he was right back in Minneapolis. A small but vibrant folk music scene was now developing in the Dinkytown neighborhood of Minneapolis and Koerner dove right in. It was during this time that he became friends with another University of Minneapolis student and aspiring folksinger, Bob Dylan, still a teenager at the time. Koerner and Dylan briefly shared an apartment together and began playing weekend gigs at the 10 O’Clock Scholar, a local coffeehouse a few blocks from the University campus. Koerner was already developing a distinctive repertoire and sound that would have a significant influence on Dylan and eventually influence generations of musicians to follow. Playing 12-string guitar, Koerner developed a raw, highly percussive style of guitar playing accentuated by his foot stomping rhythm. He also emulated black vocalists like Big Joe Williams, singing in a style that was closer to shouting than singing. Koerner’s development took a major
