#4645, from the 2022 NYGF in TGS, Part 4

From the 2022 New York Guitar Festival at The Greene Space, hear guitarist and composer Gyan Riley's post-minimalist jazz-limning new music. Plus, composer Marta Pereira da Costa, on guitarra Portuguesa.

From his beginnings in his father’s band, Terry Riley and The All Stars, Gyan Riley has branched out into classical music (both his own and that of composers like John Zorn), spacey electric guitar excursions, and Eastern-influenced collaborations with a wide range of artists, including recent Grammy winner Arooj Aftab. Gyan Riley plays and improvises original pieces.

Also, listen to fado-tinged music from bandleader, composer, and soloist Marta Pereira da Costa, the world’s first and only female professional player of the guitarra Portuguesa, (a double six-stringed, teardrop-shaped instrument traditionally played by men.)  - John Schaefer
