I was looking at the recent issue of Downbeat with its awards for
players of the year. I was surprised and disappointed that Jimmy
Bruno didn't make the list of either Top Guitarists or "Players
Deserving Wider Recognition" (or something like that). Scofield and
Frisell were tied in the first category, and Kurt Rosenwinkel was
first in the second group, but no sign of Bruno. Any thoughts? Is
it because he spends so much time in Philly? Is it a personality
thing?
