    Joe was my first teacher. I'm 56 years old have heard many, many greats. Joe remains one of the most fluid and masterful players I've heard in any instrumental genre. If you find this album lovely, you should have heard him stretch out in the ‘70s.

  • Joe Sgro - A must - have for all serious guitarists.
