Mr. Buzzurro has some fantastic chops.

Yes indeed. Can't remember another solo guitar player who who swings so hard, too. At the beginning I thought "there must be a bass and drums somewhere".

I like and listen to this gentlemen, who use more or less often a classical guitar for jazz: Antoine Boyer, Lucas Brar, Sylvain Luc...

I am a fan of Romero Lubambo’s playing and teaching

[frabarmus]

I've always envied classical guitarists' right hand-technique!

Here's a nice nylon-string guitar jazz solo by a young Romero Lubambo! (at 2:22)

Anthony Sidney is an American Classical Guitarist/Composer who also plays Blues, Rock and Jazz. He was the guitarist in a 1970's, very popular Italian "Jazz-Rock" band called Perigeo.

In this tune (that I wrote) he plays nylon-string suitar, while I (Francesco Barberini) play a jazzbox (with a plectrum).

This was part of an album/project he recorded in 2014, where he asked me to contribute both on guitar and composition.

I'm a big fan of Lenny. I play strictly jazz/bossa nova on classical guitar.

My first inspiration was Charlie Byrd, not to mention Louis Bonfa, Laurindo Almeida, Bola Sete, and, of course, Baden Powell. And, I do appreciate Chet Atkin's contribution to the genre.

I love Breau, though he uses a thumbpick and all the others use the classical style, fingers only, no picks. But, as a guitarist, he is among the greatest guitarists in the finger style that i can think of.

This Russian composer is a treasure for jazz classical guitar. Nice performance by Nikolai Ivanilov.
