My guest this week is guitarist, composer, arranger and songwriter Richard Gomez. While hailing from the Dominican Republic, Richard is a graduate (with honors) from Musician's Institute and studied with Joe Pass, Scott Henderson and Joe Diorio. A truly international performer, Richard was honored by UNESCO and the Dominican Ministry of Culture on International Jazz Day. As a session guitarist he has done work for Warner Bros., Sony International, Walt Disney and has work with such international artists as Ricky Martin. We take a look at Richard's music, his guitar playing, and how guitar impacts his music composition and orchestration. And, of course, we will talk about his guitars and gear!
