Jazz Guitar, Jump Blues and Swing

Guitar playing is Gil Cadilli's passion. His jazzy edge and attitude recall some of the innovators of the genre, such as Grant Green, Wes Montgomery, and Kenny Burrell.

Gil played guitar and bass for blues legend Charlie Musselwhite for a period of six years on club dates and festivals at home and abroad, and has shared the stage with Los Lobos, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Bonnie Raitt, David Lindley, Chris Isaak, Bo Diddley, and many more. Gil also served El Teatro Campesino as resident musical director in 18 productions and workshops.

This smooth and elegant guitarist (available as a solo, duo, or trio -- add bass and drums) offers a soulful presentation of blues and jazz with a unique twist on traditional standards and popular music. From rollicking original material to upbeat renditions of classics by Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Wes Montgomery, Nat King Cole, T-Bone Walker and more; his solid talent adds style and panache to any event.
