SUMMARY:Charlie Ballantine
DESCRIPTION:BlueStem Jazz Presentation | Named as one of the top 200 livi
 ng guitarists by All About Jazz Magazine and a Rising Star in the Downbe
 at Magazine Critics Poll\, Charlie Ballantine is acclaimed as one of the
  finest and most versatile young guitarists on the scene today. JAZZ TIM
 ES MAGAZINE hails his playing as “teeming with intricate grooves and man
 iacal precision his guitar work is both beautiful and complex” and VINTA
 GE GUITAR MAGAZINE described his style by stating “Jazz\, rock\, and fol
 k music peacefully coexist in Charlie Ballantine’s world”. Equipped with
  an impressive body of original compositions on albums like “Vonnegut” a
 nd “Cold Coffee”\, Ballantine also displays a great reverence for the ja
 zz tradition through the inclusion of standards like ‘My One and Only Lo
 ve’\, ‘East of the Sun’ and an entire double album dedicated to the musi
 c of Thelonious Monk released September 2021. “In the vein of fellow gui
 tarists like John Scofield\, Bill Frisell and Julian Lage\, Ballantine r
 econciles his educational background in jazz with the stylistic backgrou
 nd of his instrument. He approaches the gratifying tonal and harmonic la
 nguage of rock/roots with the groove\, ambition and improvisational focu
 s of a jazz musician” - (JAZZIZ MAGAZINE) After graduating from the Jaco
 bs School of Music under the direction of David Baker\, Ballantine reloc
 ated to Indianapolis and quickly developed a name for himself with a str
 ing of high energy performances at clubs like the Jazz Kitchen and Chatt
 erbox Jazz Club. After releasing two solo albums Ballantine was able to 
 attain global recognition with his award winning third album “Life is Br
 ief: The Music of Bob Dylan” which ALL ABOUT JAZZ named in their top ten
  jazz albums of the year. “From the opening bars of "The Times They Are 
 a-Changin'" it is clear that something special is happening” - (ALL ABOU
 T JAZZ) Although primarily a front man for his own projects with tours a
 nd frequent appearances throughout the US and Canada at venues and festi
 vals such as the Detroit Jazz Festival\, Indianapolis Jazz Festival\, Ro
 chester Jazz Festival\, The Winnipeg International Jazz Festival and The
  Elkhart Jazz Festival\, Ballantine also has an extensive list of side m
 an credits having performed with names like Rob Dixon\, Emmett Cohen\, a
 nd Amanda Gardier helping to further solidify him as a creative force an
 d put him in the highest of ranks as a performer. "Befitting a guitarist
  from America's heartland\, Charlie Ballantine mixes jazz\, folk-rock\, 
 surf/instro\, blues\, pop\, and country into a simmering pot of guitar s
 ound and style." - Vintage Guitar Magazine\n\nMore info: https://www.nor
