Jimmy Bruno, born July 22, 1953 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is a master jazz guitarist and jazz educator. Paying his dues by playing blistering guitar in the small clubs and venues around Philadelphia during the 1980's, his reputation as one of the hottest guitar players grew. In 1992 he landed a multi-CD recording deal with legendary jazz label Concord Records. Since then Jimmy has recorded over 13 critically acclaimed CDs, including "Sleight of Hand," "Like That," and "Polarity." His most recent CD is "Maplewood Avenue" (Affiliated Artists Records). Jimmy entered the third phase of his career in May of 2007, when he opened the Jimmy Bruno Guitar Institute (JBGI).
