Featuring six virtuoso guitarists from four countries (Japan, Canada, Belgium and the US), California Guitar Trio (CGT) and Montreal Guitare Trio (MG3) fuse over 40 years of combined performing experience into one unique six-by-6-string “phenomensemble”. In a pleasantly surprising way, CGT’s steel-stringed guitars blend naturally with MG3’s nylon-stringed guitars, as each trios fret boards chase the others’ original compositions and new arrangements of progressive rock, world, jazz and classical music.
Inspired, in 2009, by an impromptu studio session together in Montreal, CGT and MG3 have proceeded to release a live recording (2011), land showcases at numerous arts presenter conferences, and sustain frequent co-bill touring throughout North America; from the Iridium in New York City to Montreal Jazz Festival (twice) to Napa Valley Opera House and ever-increasing points in between.
