Guitarist Stephen Bryant New Release RED 123 - Unique and Innovative!

RED123 emerged from the creative depths of a "Basement Recording" project during the COVID-19 lockdown, exploring unique tunings and innovative sounds. In his early 20's Steve Bryant spent six years playing guitar as a member of the United States Navy Band—an experience that infused his music with a unique blend of structure and improvisation, akin to jazz. This duality reflects his artistic vision, merging disciplined technique with free-spirited expression. Steve is not only a talented guitarist but also a dedicated music educator, composer, and practicing musician. This past year, he has shared the stage with renowned artists such as Joshua Redman and his longtime hero, Lee Ritenour, further enriching his artistic perspective.

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

As RED123, Steve, has been captivating audiences at notable jazz venues such as the Count Basie Theater, various clubs across New Jersey, and festivals, sharing his innovative sound with diverse audiences.



WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"Steve, however, was a revelation on guitar, his long fingers allowing him to

create runs on the fretboard which were pleasing to the ear and I doubt many

players could duplicate. TriCity Jazz with Steve Bryant are one of the finest

interpreters of this music on the Jersey Shore."

— Tom Baldino, Jersey Shore Jazz & Blues Foundation

Steve Bryant’s music is a rich, multi-dimensional EP released as RED123. This collection of tunes, written by guitarist/leader Steve Bryant, is a “tapestry of feelings, emotions, desires, longings, understandings... all woven together by Bryant and some truly brilliant musicians and artists.”
