fingerstyle player Nate Najar has distinguished himself as a talent worthy of

guitarist. Najar also performs on Byrd’s own guitar, a 1974 Ramirez 1a nylon
string classical guitar, the same guitar Andres Segovia used.
Accompanied by the veteran D.C.-based rhythm tandem of drummer Chuck

and romantic ballads to urgent swingers and delicate, classically influenced
numbers on his sixth outing as a leader
