Bill Coon: Standard Elegance
A new solo guitar album, and the nature of music education, with the recently retired 28-year CapU faculty member
On the Rhythm Changes Podcast, Bill Coon talks about his solo guitar album Standard Elegance releasing on Cellar Music October 3rd, the nature of music education, learning from Jim Hall, playing at O'Doul's, and what it means to be happy but not satisfied with your artistic work.
Bill is one of our scene's long-tenured and treasured guitarists, known for his playing in groups like Triology with Miles Black and Jodi Proznick, who also released an album on Cellar this year, The Slow Road featuring Scott Hamilton; Two Much Guitar, with Oliver Gannon; and his own trios. He retired from the faculty of Capilano University's jazz program this year after 28 years.
