Jazz guitarist Royce Campbell’s “Six by Six”, which features Campbell performing duets (with rhythm section) with some of most legendary guitarists in jazz history: Pat Martino, John Abercrombie, Larry Coryell and Bucky Pizzarelli, and Dave Stryker is quickly becoming a major jazz guitar event of historical value.
The stylistic diversity of the players from Pizzarelli’s traditional approach to Abercrombie’s more modern style allows Campbell to exhibit his own versatility.
The reviewer of the LA Daily News said about the CD, “we can safely declare this the best jazz guitar album of the year.” “Six by Six” spent an impressive 16 weeks on the jazz radio charts, reaching number 5, and Jim Wilkie, host of nationally syndicated public radio jazz show “Jazz after Hours,” added it to his list of the year’s best jazz CDs.
Though it is extremely rare that a jazz guitar recording is featured in a non-jazz publication, “Six by Six” has received features in Guitar One Magazine and Vintage Guitar Magazine which is further proof of what a historical guitar event this recording has become.
