“Apicella is a lithe, swinging guitarist with an affinity for the contrasting styles of both Grant Green and Wes Montgomery…An all-around impressive debut by a guitarist of substance.” MARK GARDNER, Jazz Journal

Classic jazz guitar tone and phrasing are the cornerstone of Charlie Apicella’s playing. He is the leader of the organ trio Iron City and has produced three of the band’s recordings including “Big Boss” on ZOHO Records. He has published lessons for DownBeat and Just Jazz Guitar magazines and was featured twice in Vintage Guitar magazine.

His straight-ahead sound has him among the first call as an accompanist for vocalists and his Freddie Green-style rhythm guitar playing keeps him in constant demand for big bands.

He is on the summer faculty at Jazz House Kids in Montclair, NJ along with Christian McBride, Billy Hart, Steve Johns, Dave Stryker, et. al., and on the summer faculty at the Noel Pointer School in Brooklyn.

Charlie Apicella is a ZOHO recording artist, an Eastman Guitars Featured Artist and a ZT Amplifiers Official Artist.
