Russ DeFilippis,

EverJazz and Latin Cool Records Recording Artist

 

Russ DeFilippis, Guitarist, Recording Artist and assistant/associate of internationally acclaimed guitarist/vocalist, George Benson (“Breezin,” “This Masquerade,” “Give Me the Night,” and numerous other hits) will present a guitar master class that is also applicable and beneficial to all instrumentalists (vocalists included), song writers and composers.

Russ will focus his discussion on harmonic progression, chord substitution and melodic development through improvisation.

He is a graduate of the esteemed Berklee College of Music, where he also served on the faculty. Additionally, he studied with two celebrated instructors: Charles Benacos and Dennis Sandole. Several of his artist associations and performances include George Benson, Bob Hope, Dick Clark, Chuck Berry, The Drifters and numerous other acts.

Russ’ recent CD, “The Sorcerer’s Accomplice,” on EverJazz Records was described by George Benson as “Artistry and Taste Combined.”

Ed Blanco, All About Jazz Reviewer had this to say about Russ’ CD: “…DeFilippis demonstrates his prowess with elegant riffs.” …It’s Russ’ mastery of the guitar that is really on display here, as he interprets an absolutely beautiful selection of music with grace and swagger.”
