Even if you are hard to surprise, we suggest you try bluesman Melvin Taylor in concert.
Those who know their music describe Taylor’s guitar style as a cocktail of Jimmi Hendrix and Wes Montgomery, both revolutionary guitarists.
Taylor started playing the guitar when he was only six. Growing up in Chicago, the blues capital of the world, he constantly heard his grandma and mother striking the chords.
At 15, he started playing in The Transistors band for about a decade. In the beginning of the 1980s, famous American pianist Pinetop Perkins chose young Taylor to play with him on a European tour.
Melvin and his band with a straightforward name Melvin Taylor Blues Band will play in Kyiv, Yalta, Sevastopol, Simferopol and Lviv.
Oct. 6, 8 p.m., Culture and Education Center Master Klass, 34 Lavrska, www.masterklass.org (in Ukrainian), 594-1063. Tickets: Hr 150
