Review 1
Gene Bertoncini is an eloquent and versatile master of the guitar with a "stellar nylon string finger style" which "makes him one of the finest jazz - oriented guitarists on the scene. His playing is characterized by highly inventive single line improvisation and rich harmonic chordal concepts that in combination provide an incredible listening experience".
He has worked with Tony Bennett, Lena Horne, Buddy Rich and many other jazz luminaries including eight years of duos with bassist Michael Moore - described as "one of the finest pairings of jazz strings" by the New York Times. When he isn't in the studio or playing at New York City's better venues, Bertoncini can be found in an academic setting at the Eastman School of Music, the New England Conservatory or Banff School of the Fine Arts. |
