- Leo Kottke is an acoustic guitarist. He is widely known for his innovative fingerpicking style, which draws on influences from blues, jazz, and folk music, and his syncopated, polyphonic melodies. Kottke has overcome a series of personal obstacles including partial loss of hearing and a nearly career-ending bout with tendon damage in his hand to emerge as a widely-recognized master of his instrument. Focusing primarily on instrumental composition and playing, Kottke has sporadically moved in a vocal direction, singing in an unconventional yet expressive baritone famously self-described as sounding like "geese farts on a muggy day". In concert, Kottke intersperses humorous and often bizarre monologues with vocal and instrumental selections from throughout his career, played solo on his signature 6- and 12-string guitars.
- Leo Kottke ist ein US-amerikanischer Virtuose auf der akustischen Gitarre, der über eine dreißigjährige Karriere von Aufnahmen und Konzerten einen Folgekult von Gitarristen und Fans entwickelt hat. Indem er Folk-, Jazz- und Blueseinflüsse zu einem charakteristischen Fingerpicking-Stil synkopierter, polyphoner Musik verschmolz, nahm Kottkes Werk viel von der New-Age-Instrumentalmusikbewegung vorweg und wird oft als Teil der American-Primitivism-Bewegung gesehen – zum Teil weil er bei John Faheys Takoma Records Label unter Vertrag stand. Kottke hat eine Anzahl persönlicher Hindernisse überwunden, unter anderem teilweise Taubheit und eine karrieregefährdende Periode von Sehnenproblemen.
- Scopre la musica tradizionale, il bluegrass e l'hillbilly nel periodo in cui la famiglia risiede in Virginia, e il blues, verso la metà degli anni sessanta, attraverso l'opera di musicisti leggendari come Mississippi John Hurt e Skip James. Dopo il servizio militare, che lo ha lasciato gravemente menomato nell'udito a causa delle esercitazioni di tiro, Leo si iscrive all'università nello stato del Minnesota e inizia contemporaneamente a esibirsi in piccoli locali. Incide il suo primo album, Circle 'round The Sun, nel 1968, per la semisconosciuta etichetta Oblivion. L'album, citato talvolta anche come 12-string Blues, viene ri-registrato pochi mesi dopo per l'altrettanto piccola Symposium. Il successo vero e proprio arriva quando, sollecitato da un amico, decide di inviare un demo-tape al "profeta" della cosiddetta american primitive guitar, John Fahey, che lo prende con sé alla Takoma Records. 6 & 12 String Guitar esce nel 1969. Da questo momento il nome di Leo Kottke si impone nell'olimpo dei virtuosi dello strumento. Pubblica album con regolarità, passando nel 1971 alla etichetta Capitol, e nel 1976 è il primo artista americano a firmare un contratto con l'inglese Chrysalis. Nel 1983 la sua carriera subisce una battuta d'arresto: la tecnica chitarristica esasperata e poco ortodossa gli procura una grave tendinite, che lo costringerà e ripensare l'approccio allo strumento, prendendo lezioni di chitarra classica e giungendo a uno stile meno faticoso. Contemporaneamente, opta per un ulteriore cambio d'etichetta discografica, approdando alla piccola Private Music. Dal 1986 riprende le incisioni e i concerti, realizzando ancora eccellenti lavori quali Great big boy. Nella produzione più recente si segnala l'ottimo Clone, che ha segnato l'inizio di una interessante collaborazione con il bassista dei Phish, Mike Gordon, un abbinamento che a molti ha ricordato la storica coppia composta da Jorma Kaukonen e Jack Casady.
- Leo Kottke, född 11 september 1945 i Athens, Georgia, är en amerikansk gitarrvirtuos som varit verksam sedan slutet av 1960-talet. Han spelar med en personlig och oefterhärmlig teknik som han lärt själv. Han har inspirerats av folkmusik, jazz, rock och klassisk musik och skapat en helt egen hybrid av dessa källor. Hans huvudinstrument är den 6-strängade akustiska gitarren av Westernmodell. Även 12-strängade gitarrer förekommer frekvent i hans repertoar och av och till sjunger han med en mörk barytonstämma. Han är även känd för sina humoristiska monologer mellan sångerna. Han uppträdde ett antal gånger i Sverige på 1970-talet men har nu länge lyst med sin frånvaro här. I stället turnerar han relativt flitigt på den nordamerikanska kontinenten inför en entusiastisk beundrarskara. Han har spelat in ett stort antal skivor och samarbetat med andra artister till exempel Rickie Lee Jones.
