| dbo:abstract | Barbaro Julio Fernández (born August 29, 1954) is a Cuban-American guitarist and composer best known as the current and longtime guitarist for the jazz-fusion band Spyro Gyra. Fernández was born in Havana, Cuba, but grew up in Hoboken, New Jersey, where he started playing guitar at the age of nine. Fernández graduated from Hoboken High School in 1972 and attended Montclair State University as a music major. Before finding paid work as a musician, Fernández worked at various times as a clothing salesman, a messenger in a law firm, a newspaper delivery man and a labourer in a coat factory. In 1984, his friend Gerardo Velez, Fernández's collaborator on various projects and the percussionist for Spyro Gyra at that time, told him the band was looking for a new guitarist. Fernández auditioned and was hired the next day—an event he described as "one of the happiest days of my life." Except for a short hiatus at the end of that decade, Fernandez has continued in that position. Fernández has also worked for a variety of other musicians, including Bernie Williams, Chuck Loeb, Dave Samuels, Phoebe Snow, Richie Cannata, David Broza, Eric Marienthal, B.B. King, Emmanuel and Marion Meadows. (en) Julio Fernandez (Havana, 28 augustus 1954) is een Amerikaans gitarist. In 1961 verhuisde de familie Fernandez naar Hoboken (New Jersey). Fernandeze begon op zijn negende gitaar te spelen en haalde zijn inspiratie deels uit het optreden van The Beatles in de Ed Sullivan Show. Hij verkreeg verdere opleiding tijdens de middelbare en hogere school en ook in de diverse schollbandjes. In 1972 was zijn studie afgerond. Het Montclair State College en School of Visual Arts in Manhattan zorgden ervoor dat hij compeneren leerde van Lou Stallman. Als uitvloeisel daarvan leerde hij Gerardo Velez kennen,, de dan vaste percussionist van Spyro Gyra. In het tijdvak 1984/1985 verloor die band Chet Catallo als gitarist en Fernandez (geboren op dezelfde dag als Catallo) volgde hem op. Zijn eerste studioalbum met Spyro Gyra was Alternating currents. Sinds dat album maakte hij op een kleine periode na deel uit van de vaste kern en schreef voor ieder album wel een liedje. Fernandez speelde in aanvulling op zijn optredens met Spyro Gyra ook met andere musici uit de fusionwereld. Hij speelde bijvoorbeeld met (ooit ook Spyro Gyra) en (die componeerde een aantal stukken voor Spyro Gyra). (nl) |
