Ken Willinger - Guitarist | |
|||||||||||||
|
Music I'm a jazz guitarist that leans toward the Bebop end of the spectrum. My influences are Big Band and small combos of the 40s, 50's and 60's. I also love the modern sound that guitarists are making today. Main guitar influences are Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Herb Ellis, Tal Farlow and Pat Martino. New guitarists I enjoy are Kurt Rosenwinkel and Peter Bernstein. You can hear my music at the link below, or paste this address in your browser: http://www.soundclick.com/kenwillinger or you can see me play some clips on video by clicking the links above this page. Guitars I play mostly archtops these days, except when playing with the funk band.
