Videos: Jazz Guitar in Ireland

Dublin's dean of the jazz guitar was the late Louis Stewart. Ireland has a special place in its heart for the jazz guitar that probably has a lot to do with the music's poetry and the intimate relationship artists there seem to have with the instrument, especially on ballads. Here are a handful of Irish jazz guitarists I found while hiking the green meadows of YouTube yesterday:

Here's Louis Stewart with the Phil Ware Trio playing Four...

Here's Hugh Buckley...

Here's Buckley in action...

Here's Charlie Mooney...

Here's a band called Zaska...

And here's Louis Stewart, once again...

A special thanks to Ollie Dowling in Dublin.
