Wedding classical/jazz guitarist Michael Coppola Jazz Guitarist from Westport, CT

Check out “Wedding Music Michael Coppola” on YouTube for classical music for your event. I actually wrote the book on it for Mel Bay publications (top guitar music publisher in the world) I am also a jazz guitarist listed as a main entry in acclaimed critic Scott Yanow's book 'The Great Jazz Guitarists, the ultimate guide' as 'the master of the 9 string guitarists. I was highly trained in classical guitar as well and, in addition to playing all the traditional wedding music including bridal marches, ode to joy, canon etc as well as many other non traditional choices....Beatles, Disney, just about anything. I can do a ceremony on classical guitar and/or a cocktail hour playing jazz or any combination thereof. Versitility is my specialty. I play a self-invented 9 string guitar on which I can play music unavailable to 6 or 7 string players and with a much fuller sound than ANY other solo guitarist. Mainly a jazz player, performing solo arrangements of Porter, Gershwin, Ellington, etc; I can also include virtuoso classical guitar pieces such by Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven, etc; pop tunes by the Beatles, The Yes Band,etc; and Atkins style arrangements by Chet, Jerry Reed, Tommy Emmanuel, etc. This mix is very entertaining and exciting at any event. I have issued 7 CD recordings; have been featured in many music industry magazines such as Guitar Player, 20th Century Guitar, Fingerstyle Guitar, Just Jazz Guitar, Cadence, Coda, etc; and have performed on several local and national TV and Radio shows. I had been a regular performer at the Classic American Guitar show, The Philly Guitar show, The Montreal Jazz Festival, The Chet Atkins festival in Nashville, the winter NAMM show to name a few national events, as well as top nyc jazz clubs...the blue note, the iridium, knickerbockers. I am always willing to work with my customers to give them exactly want they are after at their own event. I have performed with jazz greats such as Charles MaPherson and the legendary LES PAUL. Type in “Michael Coppola solo 9 string guitar”' on youtube to view many videos of all styles of solo guitar music.I live in CT outside of NYC.
