Ars Nova Workshop is proud to present a tribute to the late guitarist and Philadelphia jazz legend Monnette Sudler at Solar Myth on Sunday, June 2 from 2-6pm.
Hailed as Philadelphiaโs โFirst Lady of Guitar,โ Monnette Sudler enjoyed a wideโranging career beginning as a teenager in the early 1970s with the avantโgarde collective Sounds of Liberation and branching out through jazz, blues, funk, spiritual jazz, vocal music, childrenโs songs, collaborations between jazz and spoken word, and much more. Over the ensuing half century she spanned the jazz and blues spectrums with her own work as a bandleader, guitarist and vocalist while collaborating with such legendary artists as Grover Washington, Jr., David Murray, and Archie Shepp, among others. She also gathered an array of fellow sixโstring wizards at her annual Philadelphia Guitar Summit โ bringing together masters, emerging practitioners, and novices in a supportive and exploratory environment, which she hosted for nearly a decade prior to her death in 2022....
