~ Classical Guitar Magazine, England

"I once met a guy who played a tiny guitar. That's the first thing I noticed. The next thing that I noticed was that this was no toy. It was a real instrument and the sounds that were being coaxed out of it were amazingly sweet. The performer was Jeff Linsky and we became fast friends and even jammed together later that evening. Since then, I have come to greatly admire his talents. His knowledge of standards is encyclopedic and he performs these, as well as his own songs with a breathtakingly refreshing approach. His guitar (the tiny one) becomes an orchestra in his hands and it is a stunning experience to watch. I am still, however, waiting for the pajamas*."

~ Peter White
*Don’t ask.

"He plays with the mastery of a native Latino player and a traditional American gut-string jazz finger-picker. He fuses the artistry of both worlds into a marvelously compelling amalgam. And while Linsky is an adept improviser of jazz standards, as well as a fine composer of lush, instrumental passages, his interpretations of Brazilian song are impassioned with refreshing, sultry arrangements that virtually raise the solo guitar genre to new heights."

~ Sam Prestianni
The Daily Californian

"Jeff Linsky is one of the most versatile guitarists on the planet, acquitting himself with finesse, authority, and master musicianship in a variety of styles."

~ John Stowell

"It’s rare that musicians get to sit at the feet of a true master. However, our students and patrons did exactly that at a recent performance by guitar virtuoso, Jeff Linsky. His clinic was targeted and motivational, and his concert performance was nothing short of extraordinary. We look forward with anticipation to his return to The Music School. It can’t come soon enough!"

~ Caleb Chapman
The Music School
American Fork, Utah

"His flawless technique, refined musicianship and sophisticated style of improvising in a polyphonic texture, make Jeff an outstanding player - one of the greatest in the creative merging of jazz, Latin and classical styles."

~ Carlos Barbosa-Lima

"Thanks again for a stellar sold-out concert and a fantastic workshop. Our audience loved everything: your unique style, the repertoire, and the show. Rarely do they leap out of their seats to applaud as they did for you, and the sale of CDs at intermission demonstrated how much they liked what they were hearing. We were very happy with all the new people who came to hear you.
The Idaho Classical Guitar Society and the BSU Guitar Society are very grateful to you for coming to Boise, and we'll surely do it again - in the 21st Century. Until then, we wish you continued success and all the best."

~ Steven Trott, President
Idaho Classic Guitar Society

"Linsky breathes a passion that's muscular, yet tender and warm. El Perfecto!"

~ JazzTimes

"When it comes to playing Brazilian-flavored guitar in a jazz setting, Jeff Linsky now ranks with the two masters: Laurindo Almeida and Charlie Byrd. Linsky's interpretations are melodic, relaxed and quiet, yet full of complex ideas that reward repeated listenings."

~ LA Jazz Scene

"What is so remarkable about his playing is that he gets across the rhythms, melodies and ensemble-like chord solos with a naturally relaxed feel - and he never drops a beat. Few guitarists can pull off this kind of pianistic complexity without sacrificing the groove and tempo. Some musicians make you feel like they're working hard; Linsky makes it sound easy."

~ Jazz News

"Jeff, you are amazing. I know you hear it all the time, but since it's true, I'll add my splash of praise to the tidal waves you already get ;) It's a real delight to deal with someone at your high level of accomplishment who is as down to earth and sociable as you are. I know for you it's "normal" because that's how you are as a person, but for me, it's mighty refreshing!"

~ Sonnie Brown, KCBX

"Simply the finest fingerstyle guitarist you will ever see or hear."

~ L.A. Times

"To say it was a brilliant performance would be the height of understatement!"

~ Association of Fingerstyle Guitarists
