The Blue Guitars x New West Guitars

From October 17th to 19th, we were honored to have hosted New West Guitars and The Archtop Foundation as we recorded an album recorded entirely on the historic Blue Guitars collection. The Blue Guitars are a collection of 22 handmade arch top jazz guitars originally commissioned in the 1990s. This collection is a tribute to the late master luthier, Jimmy D’Aquisto, whose Blue Centura inspired the concept of the whole collection: arch top jazz guitars built by the worlds best luthiers, however they like, as long as they’re blue. It’s not often such a culturally significant group of instruments comes around and we were thrilled to welcome in the highly skilled New West Guitars trio to play them.

Thank you to the Archtop Foundation and New West Guitars for choosing us for such a special session. Thank you to Luke Awtry for capturing our time with these historic guitars. Photos can be browsed in the gallery below.

Stay tuned for the album!
