Jeff Linsky

Guitarist Jeff Linsky is available to perform at your next special event!

"Jeff is one of my favorite players. He has it all - great technique, a fabulous sound and a wonderful feel for the instrument!" - Earl Klugh

With a strong classical guitar technique and a remarkable gift for improvisation, Jeff Linsky has developed his own warmly passionate and personal style of playing, blending elements of jazz, classical, and Latin music.

"When it comes to playing Brazilian-flavored guitar in a jazz setting, Jeff Linsky now ranks with the two masters: Laurindo Almeida and Charlie Byrd. Linsky's interpretations are melodic, relaxed and quiet, yet full of complex ideas that reward repeated listenings." - LA Jazz Scene

An award winning composer, Jeff has several critically acclaimed recordings to his credit. Jeff's original composition, Up Late , from the Concord Records release of the same name, has become a standard in the Smooth Jazz radio format. His composition, Monterey served for years as the broadcast theme of the Monterey Jazz Festival. His Latin Jazz project, Simpatico , featuring Weather Report veterans Alphonso Johnson and Alex Acuna, was nominated Contemporary Jazz Album of the Year by the National Association of Independent Record Distributors. The completely improvised solo guitar release, Jeff Linsky/Solo , was selected to Downbeat Magazine's Top Ten List. Jeff is currently writing music for television, but continues to record new projects for Arona Records.

Besides his numerous recordings, Jeff's playing can also be enjoyed on the "Artist Series" video from Mel Bay Publications, Jeff Linsky/Latin Guitar Jazz, where Jeff is featured in a 45 minute in-studio concert with noted percussionist Michael Spiro. Mel Bay has recently released the video on DVD to accompany the popular new music book Jeff Linsky/Fingerstyle Jazz Guitar Solos.

Jeff continues to maintain an active recording and international concert career, performing both as a soloist and with his various ensembles. His trademark "requinto" (a three-quarter size Spanish guitar) is available as the "Jeff Linsky Model Requinto" from Asturias Guitar Workshops in Kobe, Japan. Jeff also plays and endorses the new, specially designed Craviola from Giannini Guitars of Brazil.
