About Me:
"...most promising chord-melody jazz player in the Lenny Breau tradition: his pianistic stylings tip their hat to his avowed inspirations, Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, and Herbie Hancock."
- Guitar Player
8-string guitarist Jason Crawford has developed one of the most unique voices in solo guitar playing and improvisation. His concepts, techniques, and improvisation methods are unparalleled by any other guitarist. Equally unique is his personally designed 8-string guitar. Which is, in essence, the combination of two distinct instruments: a 5-string guitar and a 3-string bass
Aside from breaking new ground in the evolution of solo jazz guitar playing Jason's marquee of previous concert experience includes accompanying some of the world's most well known and beloved performers. This marquee includes: The Platters, Ben Vereen, Jim Nabors, Bowser and the Stingrays, The Legends Live, Hal Frazier, Tony Tillman, Scott Record, Charro, Fred Travalena, and The Fifth Dimension, to name a few.

Have a great year-end, Merry Christmas, and Happy 2012!!!
Such flexible fingerwork to get an eight string guitar to respond in this way...
Magical and most unusal!
