I only knew of him thru this :
Quite enlightening to hear a young Clint already in a league of his own....
Thx for posting
If he's using a GB10 (like on the picture) he gets a nice sound from it ...

Pretty swingin' for a 17 year old (even for a 70 year old!). Now, I think it's nothing short of astonishing that someone so young can have amassed that much jazz vocab, but Clint never seems to have received that much adulation. What am I missing? Is it considered "common" to be a jazz guitar prodigy? I can think of 3 or 4 guys that sounded accomplished at that age, but can anyone think of 100 players who were that seasoned at 17? How about even just 10 players?

When discussing accomplished 17-year-old phenoms, Gary Burton on "Jazz Winds From A New Direction" comes to mind.

He's got a bunch of videos out now of himself playing with backing tracks that fade out after he's played a chorus or two that are very good. but the bootleg is just on another level.And he's doing it LIVE.
When Clay Moore told us how good he was in the old group , he wasn't kidding.

He points to Howard Roberts as a huge influence but man, he draws from a river of sources and puts them together with incredible facility and swing.
