Here’s a Jazz guitarist I was lucky enough to come across in the cutout bins. I had no idea who Linka was when I bought this. I get it home and put it on and the first thing that comes to mind is that it sounds like John Abercrombie. I read the CD booklet and it turns out that Linka took lessons from Abercrombie.

The difference between the two is that Linka is a little more upbeat while Abercrombie is more mellow.
