“The guitar can be your best friend one day and your rival the next – it keeps you on your toes”: London jazz ace Artie Zaitz on why the amp is your second instrument and how he learned to love mistakes

Artie Zaitz is suited and booted and holds a sunburst Gibson ES-330T hollowbody.

Artie Zaitz is a jazz guitarist and Hammond organ player from London who is already a mainstay on the jazz scene at the age of 30.

With his father, Jake Zaitz, himself an established blues guitarist, Artie was exposed to blues and jazz music from an early age, and became influenced by the mid-’60s soul jazz organ/guitar trios associated with the New York Chitlin circuit.
