“My guest today is a master craftsman who has been described as ‘a veritable Picasso of the jazz guitar world.’ He is a virtuoso nylon-string guitarist, acclaimed composer, and brilliant educator who joined the faculty at the Berklee College of Music at just 19. With over a dozen celebrated books and albums, his genre-blurring voice has earned him the prestigious ASCAP Foundation Jazz Vanguard Award. But beyond his incredible fingerstyle technique and scores for ballet and the silver screen, he is also on the front lines, fighting for the future of independent music as a vital voice on the Freelance Musicians Association Jazz Advocacy Committee. Ladies & Gentlemen… this is Ken Hatfield…” – Will Kimsey (Podcast Host & Producer – Music Outlook L.A.)
