Pierre Bensusan

?For me, Pierre can only justly be compared to someone of the stature of Keith Jarrett; so total is his mastery of the solo instrument, his dazzling harmony, his many innovations, and his deft command of counterpoint, the jazz idiom, folk expression, and all genres between and beyond. An entire history unfolds as he plays. But really, like Jarrett, the emotional depth ? and this is where true artistry often likes to live ? of many of his songs and compositions is all, well, breathtaking. With only his steel-string-acoustic guitar ? and sometimes his rich, affecting voice ? Mr Bensusan can disassemble your heart and hand it back to you restored and renewed. As he did to mine tonight. A true giant.? James Volpe Rotondi (editor at Guitar Player Magazine)
