I Surrender is another great example of Tony Rizzi's incredible writing style for 5 guitars. This arrangment is based on the solo by Charlie Christian on the tune I Surrender. Today's Wirechoir consists of Sid Jacobs, David Oakes, Ken Rosser, Brandon Bernstein, Jimmy Cheesman, Putter Smith, John Atkinson, and leader Terry Carter. We rehearse every Sunday in Los Angeles and have been fortunate enough to play with Jimmy Wylbe (An original member of the 70's group, Tony Rizze and His 5 Guitars + 4) and jazz guitar great John Pisano. Also check out our other tune, Rose's Loom. Enjoy!
Fantastic! Nothing sounds better than 5 guitars voiced like a sax section. I used to play those Tony Rizzi charts back in 1979-80 when I went to University of Miami. I also loved that group called the New York Jazz guitar Ensemble, w/. Peter Leitch. Great stuff, guys! I'm jealous, wish I was there.
