Pioneering Guitarist Ralph Towner Has Died [View all]
Influential jazz guitarist Ralph Towner has died.
The musician’s passing was confirmed earlier today – January 18th – by his long-term label ECM. Ralph Towner was 85 years old, and had latterly lived in Rome.
The guitarist was unusual in that he was one of very few modern figures in jazz and improvisatory music who focused exclusively on the acoustic instrument. Associated with both six and twelve-string, Ralph Towner broadened the lexicon of the guitar within jazz, and inspired countless followers.
