…not only guitarists – have influenced me over the years. Concerning my guitar playing, I have been very touched by T-Bone Walkerand Charlie Christian. My guitar playing has always been halfway between jazz and blues. T-Bone Walker is a guitarist and blues singer who showed me how the blues could be tinged with jazzy sounds and jazzy way of playing. And the Charlie Christian‘s way of playing came to me : he was a jazz guitarist but with a blues approach, with a very strong rythm that is typical in blues.
