Multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer Kurt Rosenwinkel has gained international recognition for his deft artistry and unabated individualism since he first appeared on the New York music scene in 1991. His legacy as the pre-eminent jazz guitar voice of his generation is plainly evident on his eleven albums as a leader, each one the inspiration for legions of musicians young and old across the globe. Collaborations with Eric Clapton, Q-tip, Gary Burton, Paul Motian, Joe Henderson, Brad Mehldau, and Donald Fagen are but a few highlights from a remarkably diverse and extensive catalogue of over 150 sideman recordings. 

Kurt and his quartet, comprising pianist Aaron Parks, bassist Eric Revis and drummer Gregory Hutchinson, visit Oberlin for an inspiring masterclass and concert sponsored by the Oberlin Jazz Society.
