My Jazz Story

I love jazz archtop guitars too!
I was first exposed to jazz via Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66 - as well as all the the great jazz players I heard in the 60's backing singers - eg Barney Kessel backing

SUGGESTION
When sharing an event to Facebook it always says "this evening" - a lot of my gigs are morning or brunch gigs. Pls can you delete the "evening" phrase and just leave it as "performing today" ?This page was last updated on 2026-09-10.
