After four decades, Craig Chaquico has been at the top of his game: first as the lead guitarist and principal songwriter for the legendary Jefferson Starship/Starship; and then successfully reinventing himself as an award winning band leader, songwriter and #1 solo artist in the pop and contemporary instrumental field. He has sold over 1 million records, earned multiple GRAMMY nominations, received 20 gold records and been named one of the Top 100 Jazz Guitarists in History by Jazziz Magazine. Chaquico is on tour in support of his May 2009 release, Follow the Sun, which sublimely showcases his innovative guitar wizardry and refreshingly honest musical approach. His Follow the Sun tour will feature his jazz hits as well as his Jefferson Starship/Starship classics sung by Olf Hartly.

      Craig Chaquico began the evening at One World Center with guitar driven contemporary jazz. Though often inspired by nature, the sound Friday night had, from the beginning, strong overtones of Starship and Led Zeppelin. This jazz, especially Chaquico’s guitar, was more “hot” than “cool.” Even his guitar transposition of Kenny G’s “Songbird” was more blazing “firebird” than soaring seagull. Chaquico’s virtuoso guitar, as well as his occasional forays on the Beamz (which uses six laser beams to make music) was enhanced by the amazing versatility of Bill Silas on keyboard and saxophone. Wade Olson on drums and Jim Reitzel on bass guitar kept the groove rock-solid throughout the performance. (At least, I think that’s who his sidemen were.) In the second half, Chaquico overtly revisited his Starship days. Rolf Hartley joined his bandmates with powerful lead vocals and additional guitar. Hartley could teach Adam Lambert volumes about no-holds-barred, full-out singing. Collapse
