In 1948, the world of music changed forever when nylon strings replaced gut, bringing a new warmth and versatility to the guitar. Now, Tedesco & Slater honour that pivotal moment with Nylon ‘48—a performance where history meets innovation.
Blending flamenco’s fire with jazz’s improvisational freedom, this duo transforms the nylon-string guitar into a storyteller of emotion and technique. Richard Tedesco’s 30 years of flamenco mastery (Arte Kanela, The Cat Empire) intertwines with Nathan Slater’s Latin-jazz lyricism (La Rumba, Gian Slater Trio), creating a dialogue that’s both intimate and explosive.
From the percussive grit of rasgueado to the liquid melodies of jazz harmonics, Nylon ‘48 explores the full spectrum of the nylon-string guitar—its past, its possibilities and its soul.
Genre: Latin, Flamenco, Jazz
