Craig Wagner began playing guitar when he was fifteen, after meeting Doc and Merle Watson backstage at a bluegrass festival. Although it was the acoustic guitar sound that fascinated him initially, the first music he played was rock. His first learning experiences were drawn from the sounds of Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and Cream. After high school, he furthered his musical studies at Bellarmine College in Louisville, where he studied with Jeff Sherman. There Craig was introduced to jazz and encouraged to perform in ensembles and learn music theory. While at Bellarmine, he was fortunate to attend classes with jazz giants such as Jimmy Raney, Tal Farlow, Jim Hall, Howard Roberts, Herb Ellis and Attila Zoeller. He received his bachelor's degree in Guitar Performance (with an emphasis on jazz) in 1993 and began making his living through private lessons and performing. His main creative outlets, besides solo guitar pursuits, have been with his jazz trio, Java Men. The group plays original jazz compositions (most composed or arranged by Wagner) and has produced three successful CD's.
Jim Nichols, Craig Wagner, and Tim Thompson are three of the most gifted guitarists I've come to know. While each would be classified as jazz players they each have a different approach and sound. Jim brings the tradition of Joe Pass, and Lenny Breau as well as a bebop sound to his lines. Craig applies warp speed three fingered scaletechniques on his seven string guitar and mixes the tradition jazz repertoire with the pop styles of Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson. Tim likes to give an edge to the groove of his traditional swing feels while playing solo and using a looping device. He also likes to surprise his audience with unique song selection and original compositions. |
