In a recording career of over three decades, master guitarist Earl Klugh has been lauded first as a prodigy and groundbreaker,  then a defining figure, and ultimately, as one of the true statesmen of contemporary jazz. With 2008’s The Spice of Life,  Klugh earns his 12th career Grammy Nomination! Earl Klugh has recorded over 30 albums in a multi-million-selling career including 23 Top Ten charting records – four of them No. 1  - on Billboard’s Jazz Album chart.  In recent years, Klugh has toured on nearly every continent, carrying the banner for jazz music, its legendary musicians, and
for global social awareness.  Joining such legends as George Duke, Stanley Clarke, Al Jarreau, Bob James, Patti Austin and Ravi Coltrane, Klugh has twice traveled on goodwill tours to India, jointly sponsored by the U.S. State Department and The Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz.  Klugh received the honor of 2008’s Best Jazz Concert by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and the New York Times hailed Klugh, “…a guitarist with impeccable technique.”
Klugh’s magic onstage continues to delight audiences worldwide
