Renowned jazz guitarist and former professor of Jazz Guitar Studies at The Juilliard School – Rodney Jones

“Rodney Jones occupies a unique place in the jazz guitar world – kind of a Zen Master of the current active A-list players. You can count on one hand the guys who rose to the pinnacle of academia (former professor at Juilliard and Manhattan School), television (The Rosie show), toured and recorded with jazz icons (Dizzy Gillespie, Lena Horne, Chico Hamilton), and beloved by his family, students, and friends.”   Howard Paul, President/CEO Benedetto Guitars
