STRING THEORY

The son of a classical pianist and teacher, Guy grew up studying classical cello and voice. When he turned 18 he bought a (bass) guitar to punish his Mom and started playing in rock bands. Contrary to his plans, his mother found this charming and hired his band to play at her parties. Guy spent his 20s and 30s playing in rock, blues, funk and folk bands, largely in the greater Washington, D.C., area. In his thirties he began seriously studying jazz and eventually took up the acoustic double bass. He now plays in a variety of small jazz groups around the area. String Theory is one of his favorites due to its wide open approach to improvisation and the exhilarating interaction between all three players.
