GUT STRING RECORDS releases the debut album for the jazz duo of guitarist Dion Berardo and bassist and cellist Kimon Karoutzos, “DIG!”. In an intimate setting such as the guitar and bass duo (one track on cello), the music blends bebop melodies, blues feeling and sparkling solos, all with presence of a constant communication between the two instrumentalists. The album is consisted of ten tracks, two original compositions, two re-arranged folk songs and six compositions by legendary jazz composers such as Miles Davis and Ray Bryant.

The two musicians, Dion Berardo and Kimon Karoutzos, although originally from Greece, they are both based in New York City.

Dion Berardo, considered one of the finest young jazz guitarists in the jazz scene as well as in the gypsy jazz scene has been touring all over the world and performing in major festivals with his own bands such as the “Django Amsterdam”, “Django Reinhardt Jazz Festival” in Fontainebleau, “ELBJazz” in Hamburg and many others.

Kimon Karoutzos, considered one of the finest young jazz bassists to emerge from Europe, and a protege of legendary bassist Ron Carter, has performed with some of the most renowned jazz musicians such as Cyrus Chestnut, Arturo O’Farrill, Wycliffe Gordon, Ethan Iverson and Philip Harper among others.

Legendary jazz bassist Ron Carter has written the liner notes for the album:

“…I am often asked by music listeners what jazz records do I listen to…and believe me there are many choices!! However if I had to settle on a select few, this CD of a bass and guitar duo would most certainly qualify as belonging in this list…”
