"...most promising chord-melody jazz player in the Lenny Breau tradition: his pianistic stylings tip their hat to his avowed inspirations, Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, and Herbie Hancock." -Guitar Player
8-string guitarist Jason Crawford has developed one of the most unique voices in solo guitar playing and improvisation. His concepts, techniques, and improvisation methods are unparalleled by any other guitarist. Equally unique is his personally designed 8-string guitar. Which is, in essence, the combination of two distinct instruments: a 5-string guitar and a 3-string bass.
