Fareed Haque
is a modern guitar virtuoso. Steeped in classical and jazz traditions, his
unique command of the guitar and different musical styles inspire his musical
ventures with tradition and fearless innovation. Haque was brought to the
attention of Sting, who had just begun his record label Pangaea. Sting invited Haque
to join the label and he released 2 critically acclaimed recordings “Voices
Rising” and “Manresa”. Haque toured briefly with Sting, including notable
appearances at The Montreux Jazz Festival as well as NBC’s Michelob Presents
Sunday Night with David Sanborn, but his own career demands led Haque in other
directions.
