December 8, 2024Tim’s cool, relaxed style, created a great ambiance
Tim plays in a cool, relaxed style that is both inviting and invigorating... a jazz guitar player in the grand tradition of the great southern California jazz guitarists. His playing style is smooth, cool and unhurried, giving freedom of space that platforms the articulation of every note and phrase.
