made a lot of top 40 that people forget what this guy can do.

here is a young GB on an A flat blues, listen to the opening of his solo right at :24 - f'in burning with an outside lick and starts right off swinging. one of the best jazz guitarists ever

his Breezin album is one of the best selling jazz albums of all time, he pretty much invented "smooth" jazz
one of my favs -
