Although primarily a self-taught musician, Jeff Linsky did study briefly with both Spanish guitar virtuoso Vicente Gomez and jazz guitar great Joe Pass. While still in his teens, Jeff began traveling the world as a touring musician, eventually signing with Concord Jazz in the 1980’s.
Known for his polyphonic improvisation on the nylon string guitar, Linsky’s recordings for Concord (and other labels) feature his award winning compositions, which have been featured internationally in film and television, as well as the broadcast theme for the Monterey Jazz Festival.
