Hi gang,
I'd like to extend the thread on European Jazz guitarists a bit here

if you

don't mind. I mentioned Jesse van Ruller earlier, the Rosenbergs, and

Jan

Akkerman. Obviously these are all Dutch players.
Two Belguim players I absolutely dig are Rene Thomas and Philip

Catherine.

Rene made a great classic Jazz guitar recording in 1960 "Guitar

Groove" that

is outstanding and a super classic. It is one of the few albums that

even

merits a 4 star review in the Penguin Guide to Jazz (LOL). One of my
favorite Jazz Guitar Cds. Rene died as early as 1974.
Philip Catherine is another great Jazz hero from Belgium. Most

expressive

Jazz player with a distinct style. I guess you guys know him across

the

pond? He worked with Chet Baker and Tom Harrell.
What about Scandinavian and German Jazz guitar playing? I must admit

I don't

know too many from these regions.
From Britain I know Martin Taylor and Louis Stewart but I guess there

must

be many more...
And let's not forget the French. Are they known in the States?

Bireli

Lagrene, Philippe Petit, Christian Escoude etc? I mean, these guys

are

famous over here. Any new players I should know about?
Greetings from Holland,
Dick

In France Antoine Boyer is incredible. He plays as well jazz, gypsy

jazz or classical...

In Italy Matteo Mancuso is just ouaouh ! ;-)
I think that Michael Sagmeister from Germany is one of the Top 5

Jazz-Guitar Players from Europe!
