Label: Material Records

Genre: Jazz

Three different styles and approaches of playing the guitar, three individualists, three generations from three continents – MGT is Wolfgang Muthspiel, Slava Grigoryan and Ralph Towner.

US guitar legend Ralph Towner, the extraordinary Austrian innovator and European Jazz prize winner Wolfgang Muthspiel and Australian wunderkind Slava Grigoryan formed MGT in 2005, and performed two extensive tours and recorded two studio projects in Australia, where Slava Grigoryan – the youngest of the trio – lives. The music for the Trio mainly composed by Ralph Towner and Wolfgang Muthspiel
together they create their own distinctive sound cosmos by use of various guitars (baritone guitar, 12-string guitar, electric guitar, classical guitar).

The cd and live program shows the common ground of the three musicians – all classically trained and inspired, while each guitarist brings a distinctive individual approach to his own composition and performance.

In March 2009, for the first time together in concert in Europe, the trio will perform a string of spellbinding performances accompanied by the release of their debut album on Material records, „From a Dream“. MGT will perform solo, duo and trio sets for the audience with pre-composed material, spontaneous composition and improvised mastery.
