Graham Dechter is a 26-year-old jazz guitarist who is, indeed, currently living his dream.

Graham was invited to join the world-famous Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra at age 19. Now, 7 years later, he is leading his own group and just released his second CD, “Takin’ It There.”

Here is a video of the quartet performing the title track, “Takin’ It There” live in our studios:

The quartet includes Jeff Hamilton (drums), Josh Nelson (piano) and Christoph Luty (bass).
