About Me

real editor best profile tools real editor best profile tools Jimmy Bruno, born July 22, 1953 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is a master jazz guitarist and jazz educator. Paying his dues by playing blistering guitar in the small clubs and venues around his beloved Philadelphia during the 1980's, his reputation as one of the hottest guitar players grew. In 1992 he landed a multi-CD recording deal with legendary jazz label Concord Records. Since then Jimmy has recorded over 13 critically acclaimed CDs, including "Sleight of Hand," "Like That," and "Polarity." His most recent CD is "Maplewood Avenue" (Affiliated Artists Records). Jimmy entered the third phase of his career, when in May of 2007, he opened the Jimmy Bruno Guitar Institute (JBGI). Since that time, the JBGI has exceeded enrollment projects through the visionary manner the lessons are presented and the interaction that provides a student with an optimal environment to thrive in. As of July 2008, the JBGI has over 1,400 students representing 45 countries.
