California Guitar Trio - The First Decade -- Discipline Global Mobile Shopping Cart
"Everything from unique originals to dazzling, cleverly arranged reinterpretations of classical, jazz and surf rock pieces."
Lams, Moriya and Richards first met when they all attended one of King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp's guitar seminars in England in 1987. They toured as part of Fripp's League of Crafty Guitarists until deciding in 1990 to form their own group. The men had gathered in Los Angeles and by early 1991, Lams, Moriya and Richards had selected the name California Guitar Trio. They toured the West Coast extensively and built up a strong following by playing coffeehouses and small clubs. Guitar fanatics quickly embraced the trio. CGT signed with Fripp's Discipline Global Mobile label and released its debut album, 'Yamanashi Blues,' in 1993. The trio maintained a demanding tour schedule and released its second album, 'Invitation,' in 1995. After touring worldwide with King Crimson in 1995, the California Guitar Trio benefited from the wider exposure and reaped the rewards of dramatically increasing its fan base.
