About Joseph Frame

Joseph Frame is a guitarist who has studied with legendary acoustic jazz guitarists Charlie Byrd and Gene Bertoncini. His meticulously developed fingerstyle arrangements emphasize the harmonic content of each piece he performs, either in a solo context or in ensemble. For repertoire, he frequently draws from the music of the late Brazilian master Antonio Carlos Jobim, whose sophisticated rhythms, memorable melodies, and lush jazz harmonies created that musical genre now known as bossa nova. He also performs original pieces which meld the influences of his various musical interests: Brazilian, Classical, Gypsy-Jazz, the Great American Songbook. Many of these tunes are showcased on his solo CD, “Picture This”.
