The Lenny Breau Homepage. The late Lenny Breau was a true jazz guitar genius who ranks alongside Django Reinhardt, Charlie Christian and Wes Montgomery as one of a select few inspired innovators who set new standards of creative artistry in Jazz Guitar history. Lenny's musical influences were truly diverse. They ranged from Country fingerstyle master Chet Atkins, Jazz Guitarists Johnny Smith and Tal Farlow, Flamenco virtuoso Sabicas, Jazz pianist Bill Evans and sax titan John Coltrane. Drawing from these eclectic sources Lenny created a truly unique voice in the guitar world.
Lenny's unprecedented technical facility and depth of musical insight allowed him to play Bill Evans style chord voicings simultaneously with improvised single note lines. His country and classical right hand techniques allowed for great independence of parts and subtle tonal and dynamic shadings. Lenny possessed a singular blend of techniques and musical knowledge that often created the illusion of two and sometimes three musicians eminating from a single guitarist ...

Aaron Benson:
"After The Rush" the new album from Aaron Benson is as fresh as it is timeless!! A mix of smooth and exciting sounds drawing from Cool Jazz, Soul, R'n'B, Latin and infused with a touch of Uptown Blues - The CD has instantly been met with much acclaim! Aaron is a guitarist with that rare ability to transcend genres. Born in Melbourne Australia and having performed in a multitude of settings around the world his music captures the feeling of today even when playing homage to yesterday.
His mellifluous melodies, cool grooves, and earthy sophistication are all represented here displaying a seductive blend of strong musicianship, versatility and a keen ear for creating exciting and inspiring music ... While heavily influenced by many of the great guitarists both old and new - the thing that gives his music an extra dimension is an equally un-abated love for expressive vocalists. This adds a lyrical quality to his songs and arrangements that captures the ears of anyone with an appreciation of great melodies, soulful tones and consummate playing ...
Whether it be the uplifting funky flavour of "Uptown Avenue" the streetwise groove of "The Chase Is On" or the tantalizing "My Love is your Love" and "When Hearts are Singing" - these songs are beautifully balanced with the sleek and sensual "Slo Notion" and luxurious "Your Soulful Whisper" which is a prelude of more things to come. The singing tone of "Havana Moonlight" certainly delivers a spark that could fire up many different occasions with it's hypnotic Latin rhythms and simmering guitar lines.
Other highlights of the CD are the slinky Barry White meets Wes Montgomery cover "Practice What You Preach" and the atmospheric closing ballad "Way Past Midnight" which conjures up all kinds of images from classic cinematic moments, old smoky jazz clubs through to romantic endeavours - finesse is the key word here ...

Larry Carlton's own musical story began in Southern California. He picked up his first guitar when he was only six years old. He was introduced to jazz in junior high school after hearing The Gerald Wilson Big Band album, Moment of Truth, with guitarist Joe Pass. Larry then became interested in Barney Kessel, Wes Montgornery and the legendary blues guitarist B.B. King. Saxophonist John Coltrane was also a major influence on Carlton, beginning with Coltrane's 1962 classic Ballads.
In 1968 he recorded his first LP, With A Little Help From My Friends (Uni). The enthusiastic industry response garnered him a place among jingle singers The Going Thing, recording on camera and radio commercials for Ford. Mid-season in his second year, he segued to Musical Director for Mrs. Alphabet, an Emmy-nominated children's show on the same network. It was here that Carlton showcased his acting skills, performing as the show's co-star, "Larry Guitar" ...
