Andrew York
Andrew York is one of today's most visible and innovative classical guitar composers, and a former member of the GRAMMY winning Los Angeles Guitar Quartet. Andrew’s new recording Centerpeace, a collaboration with Allaudin Mathieu, Mitsuko Kado and Andy Summers is series of free improvisations on piano and guitar. Master improviser, recorded in Sebstapol in one evening, during a steady rainstorm, which lent a certain evocative mood to the session. Half the CD will be free improv with Allaudin. His discography includes “California Breeze,” a new recording for Sony Japan, three solo CD's for the GSP label, ten CD’s with the LAGQ on Delos, Sony and Telarc labels, as well as inclusion on Rhino Records ”Legends of Guitar” and numerous other compilations. In film, Andrew shares the stage with artists Eric Johnson, Albert Lee, Doc Watson, and Mason Williams in the documentary ”Primal Twang.” Written by Dan Crary, this film will be released in February 2007.

Recent concerts include Bogotá Columbia, Ankara Turkey and Andrew’s eleventh tour of Japan. In 2006 Andrew recorded and performed with the Atlanta symphony for the opera ”Ainadamar” by Osvaldo Golijov. The recording of ”Ainadamar” (Deutsche Gramophone) won two GRAMMY awards. York's compositions have been recorded by guitar luminaries John Williams, Christopher Parkening, Scott Tennant and William Kanengiser. As a published composer, York's works appear in print worldwide through Alfred Publications, Hal Leonard, Mel Bay Publications, Guitar Solo Publications, Doberman-Yppan in Canada, Ricordi in London, and in Japan through Gendai and Rittor Music.
