Doc Rossi

Gregory Doc Rossi has performed across North America and Europe, both solo and with various groups, playing Early Music, Hawaiian Slack-key guitar and Irish and American traditional music. One of the few players specializing in the 18th-century cittern, he has recorded the works of Pasqualini Demarzi with Andrea Damiani, and a recital CD of solos and duets for Cetra. Doc performs with Taro Takeuchi, Robert Amyot and The Batchelor Consort. His publications include The Compleat Cittern or Guittar (a comprehensive tutor for the instrument), The Original Guitar Styles of Jerry Donahue and the English translation of Andrea Damiani’s Tutor for Renaissance Lute. Also a scholar, he has prepared a modern edition of Thomas Robinson’s music for cittern, and has published several articles on the cittern and the guitar. Read more on Last.fm.
