Jack Petersen - Guitarist - At The Nash Jazz Club with Mike Vax

“Jack Petersen - Guitarist - At The Nash Jazz Club with Mike Vax

Jack Petersen (87, October 25, 1933) is an American jazz guitarist and educator. He was a pedagogical architect for jazz guitar and jazz improvisation at Berklee College of Music, University of North Texas College of Music, and University of North Florida.

In 1962 Petersen accepted an invitation by Lawrence Berk, Berklee, to chair the first formal guitar curriculum at Berklee College of Music. Berk discovered Petersen through his affiliation with the Stan Kenton Band Clinics. While at Berklee, Petersen introduced a guitar lab concept that transformed guitar education, particularly jazz guitar, with respect to sight reading and with respect to accommodating large numbers of guitar students.

He has worked with Dave Brubeck, Randy Brecker, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Buddy DeFranco, Herb Ellis, Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, Milt Hinton, Lena Horne, Stan Kenton, Peggy Lee, Michel Legrand, Henry Mancini, Lou Marini, Ellis Marsalis Jr., Rich Matteson, Matteson-Phillips Tubajazz Consort, Rufus Reid, Doc Severinsen, Billy Taylor, Clark Terry, and Nancy Wilson.

Petersen is proficient on double bass, cello, and piano. Sight-reading and maneuvering jazz progressions have made him a popular guitarist in recording studios, with big bands, and musicians who had little time to teach parts to their sidemen.” - Wikipedia
