“Kinloch Nelson is both a gifted performer and a brilliant arranger who can do wonders with virtually any song.”  Dave Walker – Just Jazz Magazine

 “Listening  to Kinloch Nelson is a journey  trough American roots, jazz, country, blues, classical and whatever it is that ties them all together. Nelson’s knowledge of the  guitar and the dexterity with which he explores its intricacies is simply amazing.”
