“There are guitarists and there are guitarists and Ian Date is definitely one of them, (I meant one of the best of them). His versatility is exceptional, a fine soloist with an outstanding knowledge of harmony and chord substitutions and an impressive ability to apply this in his improvisations. Ian’s accompanying work with it’s moving bass lines and melodic chord voicing are jaw dropping and to top it all off he’s a most entertaining performer and a genuine “nice guy”. I’ve had the pleasure not only of seeing him perform on several occasions but of being invited to get up on stage and jam with him on some Gypsy Jazz standards. If he’s performing in your area seize the opportunity to see and hear one of Australia’s finest guitarists.”Hank Marvin (The Shadows)Ian is a regular guest teacher at Robin Nolan's gypsy jazz guitar retreats that take place in Amsterdam in July and January.
