More info about the musician...
Seattle-based jazz guitarist Jesse Sullivan is not your typical guitarist! Doesn't play too loud, owns one guitar and one amp, and is a musical encyclopedia. While he can play in nearly any musical setting, solo guitar, guitar, bass and drums, trio, you name it, he considers himself to be a vocal jazz accompanist more than anything else. He prides himself in being a unique solo artist and extremely supportive and dynamic accompanist who swings his tail off. He graduated from the University of Southern California on merit scholarship with Cum Laude Honors in 2015. He was one of eight students in this class receive the pristigeous Thornton Faculty Award Scholarship.
Early on, he was exposed to jazz music when he saw Bruce Forman play at Jazz at Port Townsend about a month after picking the guitar up. After that moment, he has worked hard to refine his craft and become the player he is today, one who deeply is rooted in the tradition of swing and repertoire from the Great American Songbook. He credits the older musicians he played with in his high school days in the Seattle area for fostering his love for jazz and swinging sound. Jesse's unique sound that employs a bevy of chord melodies and improvised chord solos that pay homage to swing big bands while still playing with lyricism and respect to the songs lyrics is one of many things that sets him apart from other guitarists. Unlike most guitarists, one of his strongest suits and favorite settings to play in is accompanying vocalists. You read it right! A guitarist who loves playing with singers; not the first time you hear that! He credits Seattle vocalist Diana Page for helping him discover his passion for vocal accompaniment when they played regularly around the Seattle area during his senior year of high school.
