TJS 2007 Jazz All Starz

Baron Tymas:
An electric and acoustic guitarist of tremendous skill, emotion and versatility, Baron Tymas makes fiery, yet beautiful original music, drawing inspiration from bebop, funk, rock, blues, classical, Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, Spanish, Indian, gypsy, reggae and west African traditions. The melodies are striking, yet thoughtful, the harmonies deceptively modern, and the rhythms grooving, but unpredictable.
     Tymas is an assistant professor of music at North Carolina Central University in Durham, NC.  At NCCU, he is head of the guitar program and Assistant Director of Jazz Studies.  He is a dynamic and passionate performer, composer and educator, who performs regularly in the southeast and occasionally throughout the U.S. and abroad.  During the summers, he also teaches at National Guitar Workshop's New Milford, Connecticut and McLean, Virginia campuses.
