About Me
Bob DeVos-Jazz Guitarist
Acclaimed guitarist, and composer Bob DeVos has enjoyed over 50 years as an in- demand player. With long, blues-drenched melodic lines and a horn-like approach, he has a signature style of groove and sophistication. From solo to big band, Bob is a modern player with strong traditional roots, equally at home with straight-ahead jazz, blues, Rhythm & Blues, funk, Latin, and more. A master with a full, warm sound, in his formative years Bob toured and recorded with the giants of organ jazz–Trudy Pitts, Richard “Groove” Holmes & Sonny Stitt, Jimmy McGriff & Hank Crawford, and Charles “The Mighty Burner” Earland’s greatest band. Bob went on to perform with a Who’s Who in and out of the organ genre, including Joey DeFrancesco, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Gerry Niewood’s Timepiece with Dave Samuels, Ron McClure, Teo Macero, Irene Reid, Houston Person, and David “Fathead” Newman. As a young musician he played with Screamin’ Jay Hawkins and recorded with Frank Sinatra and Gladys Knight.
