notes
Nate Najar is one of only few guitarists who play jazz on the classical guitar. Many guitar players emulate horn players with blistering single note runs, but Nate prefers the more orchestral approach afforded by the classical guitar. Contrapuntal lines, lush harmony, and a full swinging sound have come to be associated with his guitar work. Swinging jazz sounds, blues, and Brazilian styles are all at home under Nate's hands. Rick Anderson of the All Music Guide says it best:
"one of the most consistently interesting and enjoyable young guitarists on the jazz scene.... Highly recommended."
Nate has learned from some of the world's greatest guitarists including Frank Mullen, Jack Wilkins, Gene Bertoncini and Romero Lubambo.
"I'm All Smiles" features Nate on his Buscarino nylon string guitar, Steve Boisen on double bass, Chuck Redd (Charlie Byrd, Barney Kessel, Ken Peplowski) and Duduka Da Fonseca (Trio De Paz, A.C. Jobim) on drums and percussion respectively.

Top notch musicianship, high energy, and very enjoyable listening.
author: MacNate Najar is a wonderful guitarist playing with a great combo. Song selection, sound, and entire vibe of the CD are excellent. It's also very fresh to hear jazz played so well on a classical guitar. Most enjoyable!
