“Montgomery, for me, is the musician par excellence. I cannot explain why, the words would not be sufficient... from the moment I discovered Wes, he influenced me, deeply; I also love Burrell, for his phrasing, his sonority... I respect Joe Pass, he´s a mountain of technique and ideas. All guitarists have their personality and are interesting. Tal Farlow infatuated me to the point that I experienced all his solos by heart... And Barney Kessel? That´s the first Jazz guitarist I heard in the Antilles... I forgot a “monster”: George Benson !” click on the pictures to get to the sites other sites: Dave Gould's Guitar Pages Downbeat.com guitarists pages classicjazzguitar.com Grant Green @ allmusic.com Wes Montgomery german page Wes Montgomery discography John McLaughlin Fan Page John McLaughlin @ Twitter Barney Kessel @ allmusic.com
