C A U FO R N » CUITAR TRIO CREATES TOC POWER
The California Guitar Trio brings
its daring musical adventurism to
the Portland area on March 5,h for a
performance the Portland Guitar
Festival, taking place at the Lincoln
Hall Auditorium at Portland State
University. Featuring lavish ar­
rangements o f classical works,
orginal compositions and surf mu­
sic, the stopping virtuosity and a sly
sense of humor. The concert starts
at 8:00 p.m Call 503-725-3003 for
ticket information.
Fresh from recent tours with King
Crimson and John McLaughlin, the
California Guitar Trio is supporting
their recently-released third album.
Pathways is a head brew o f well-
known classic and contemporary
material, with everything from
Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony to surf
guitar classic “Misirlou” (of Pulp
Fiction fame) to newly-commis­
sioned avant garde pieces, all inven­
tively played on three acoustic gui­
tars.
“A California Guitar Trio perfor­
mance is like a night at the theatre:
Drama, passion, humor, joy, pathos,
it’s all there," writes Terri Horak in
Acoustic Musician magazine.
The California Guitar Trio owes
its genesis to the guitar craft con­
cept of Robert Fripp. The three
members met in 1987 during an ad­
vanced guitar craft course offered
by Fripp at his home in the British
countryside. After several tours with
Fripp and his League of Crafty Gui­
tarists, Bert Lams from Brussels,
Belgium, Hideyo M oriya from
Rokyo and Paul Richards from Salt

Lake City decided to form a trio in
late 1990.
Lams’ extensive classical music
background plays a key role in shap­
ing the trio’s instrumental approach.
“Bert really has a conductor’s ear
for arranging the material,” says
Richards. “Eben through Hideyo
The HiT Fact o r Y
and 1 don’t have classical training,
we have an interesting it. Bert is the
one who really brings that to a real­
ization. More and more, our origi­
nal pieces have taken on a collabora­
tive nature, where everyone helps
shape and define the composition.”
The trio has two previous CDs,
on
the 1994 debut Vamanashi Blues
and 1995’s Invitation. All of their
releases are available on Robert
Fripp’s Discipline Global Mobile
label.
Opening for the Trio will be label
mate Tony Geballe, whose exquis­
