Robert Popescu

Jazz guitar’s future is in good hands with Robert Popescu. This talented young guitarist plays with both energy and taste, as his brand new “take” on things is also grounded in the instrument’s long tradition and jazz idioms like BeBop, Cool Jazz, Latin, Swing and Pop-Fusion.

Whether playing solo or with one of his groups, Popescu brings a diverse repertoire and an innate talent for great arrangements. He’s on the go with group configurations that range from his Absolute Proof Trio, which plays a potent cocktail of acoustic jazz, to his 4-piece Pop Fusion, interpretting contemporary tunes in an all-new way, and the lauded Robert Popescu Trio.

Despite his youthful status, Popescu has already played alongside the likes of Frank Mullen, Johnny Lamb, Joey DeFrancesco, Buster Cooper and many other talented jazz professionals. His dynamic, sophisticated play can also be found on disc: he’s featured on the Modern Guitar Quintet’s Back to Business.

Rob Popescu’s fine playing has received enthusiastic praise from journalists, musical peers and fans alike. Come on out and join the crowd!
