If you want to catch a glimpse of the next generation of Austin musicians, come check out this confident up-and-comer. Rountree is a fine jazz guitarist whose recent album,
No Goodbyes, was an auspicious debut. Already a SXSW veteran, he cites Pat Metheny, John McLaughlin, and Eric Johnson as major influences. And speaking of Mr. Johnson, his longtime bassist, Roscoe Beck, will be on hand to provide the bottom for Rountree’s fluid explorations.
