Description
Jimmy Bruno:
Bruno_maaaann!" says George Benson of one of the brightest talents in the guitar firmament. And while Benson's comment may be short on detail, there's no question that it gets the point across: he's impressed, which in itself speaks volumes about Jimmy Bruno's abilities.
What makes Bruno special enough to attract the attention of someone of George Benson's stature? Simply that he plays from within the tradition of straight-ahead jazz while taking the guitar to a new technical level. When Jimmy gets revved up and begins tossing off blistering single-note runs and blindingly fast arpeggios, look out. In terms of sheer chops, he's practically untouchable in the jazz guitar world. At the same time, he's much more than just a sterile technician. He knows jazz, uses his technique for musical ends,and can play pretty and swing hard. It's a unique combination that sets him apart_and is especially evident on Live At Birdland One (CCD-4768-2)with Special Guest Bobby Watson, his latest Concord Jazz recording ...

Pierre Bensusan, guitarist:
Some guitarists have become fluent in the musical language of their time and place. Of these men and women, there are some who take in music from beyond their own surroundings and give birth to new musical ideas, brave compositions, and inventive playing styles. Most rare, however, are those artists who do all these things and continue to listen to their hearts, who compose beyond the limitations of their instrument, and who improvise without fear. Rare indeed, Pierre Bensusan is a guitarist, a composer, a man who constantly explores the depth of his own voice. In doing so, his music, (or as he says, his work) seems to come from a source much greater than the hands and voice of one man.
If “world music” is music that pays tribute to the spirit of a collection of human beings through distinct rhythms, traditional instruments and harmonic colors, Pierre Bensusan can be recognized as one of the most eloquent and diverse world musicians of our time. In his solo concerts that could last nearly 3 hours, Bensusan weaves together the music from so many lands and so many times in history, no list of reasonable length here would suffice. And for each piece Bensusan describes as being influenced by “a man from Iraq”, or the middle-ages, or the essence of the Brazilian culture, each piece is informed by much more. None can be isolated as simply “Brazilian” or “French”; rather, they represent our world in its current state, a world sharing itself, fusing cultures together in ways we have never experienced ...

Fred Deluc:
The musicianship immediately stands out and will either make you want to pick up your guitar and start practicing or hide in the closet because it's so good.
Leduc has created a magnificent album that is very pleasing to listen to any time of the day.
With the success and affluence of various new age/ international guitarists, Fred Leduc ranks right up there in the top quartile.His guitar sings, giving us both melody and harmony, and with guitar solos that enrich the entire experience.The music and engineering it contains are outstanding!
Fred began playing Guitar during his teenage years, he attended the Northern Metropolitan College of Tafe and completed the 2 year Advanced Certificate in Jazz Performance. During this time, Fred was involved in the recording of an album with the Progressive Rock band named 'Vaudeville'. This album proved extremely popular landing him contracts throughout Asia and parts of Europe. Fred continued on to complete further study, attending La Trobe University studying the Bachelor of Music Degree based on classical influences, which he successfully completed in 1998 ...
