deepblue Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I mentioned Lenny Breau in the Jazz thread. I was just wondering if anyone has ever heard him play?...He is considered by many to be the best Jazz guitar player ever. Myself, I heard of Lenny about 10 years ago while watching a documentary filmed by the CBC. It was through footage and interviews that I really saw a true genius at work. A shy man, who should have been rich and famous but got hooked on drugs and didnt have alot of business sense....Its a shame. Chet Atkins called him the best. And if Chester says it so you better believe it to be true. Check out YouTube if youre interested. Heres a sample. http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=-9SvTtaQLC4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
