JOHN STOWELL

Los Angeles Times...“Stowell made his electric guitar sing beautifully, displaying all the virtuosity that has brought him to the jazz world’s attention in recent years.”

?Coda Magazine, Toronto...“He plays his amplified guitar as if he were surrounded by fine crystal… the type of slow-burning, sustained energy that you hear in players that practice all the time.” - Downbeat
