notes

David Weiss

"Finger Noise" is a fire-and-ice guitar album that mixes mellow folk finger style with flamenco flash, classical guitar technique with 80's rock guitar chops, and backed by world rhythms and Afro-Cuban percussion.

Born in Syracuse, NY to a Chinese mother from Trinidad and a Jewish father from the Bronx, Weiss studied classical guitar at Western Washington University in the late 70's and early 80's, and spent a good part of the 80's playing lead guitar on the Canadian club circuit with hard rock acts. In the 90's, he began composing original music for solo classical and acoustic guitar and self-released his instrumental guitar CD "Finger Noise."

"An exciting and powerful blend of Spanish, classical, folk and rock guitar styles. Finger Noise is a dream to listen to for both serious guitar aficionados and for those who just want to sit back and soak it up while they sip some tea or coffee."

-Joseph Ponder, Every Other Weekly, Bellingham, WA

"Check this disc out if you want to hear some beautiful guitar playing."

-Review of Finger Noise CD, What's Up Magazine, Bellingham, WA

Today Weiss divides his time between performing solo and performing and recording with his world jazz trio Jacapito! which fuses his nylon-string guitar playing with the fretless bass mastery of Jim Lowry and the Afro-Cuban percussion rhythms of Nathan Matson. If you enjoy the instrumental compositions and arrangements on "Finger Noise" you will enjoy the rhythmic and textural improvisations of Jacapito!

"Ambient World Jazz" is the latest 4-song EP from Jacapito! and is available along with Weiss' "Finger Noise" CD at most local record stores, online at the links below, or at any of their live shows.
