You are possibly the most talented young jazz guitarist on YouTube.  Your playing is always so clean and pure no matter which guitar you choose to use.   It is always a pleasure to hear you play.  Young artists like you will keep jazz from dying.

[duanemedley]

You are a young gifted musician that style demands respect. I would purchase any release you made.

[JaemanEdwards]

Nice. Respect from New Zealand. I saw George in concert here in 1981 at the age of 8 at a legendary outdoor venue called Western Springs.

This has to be my favourite Benson tune, I've listened to it literally 1000's of times, and when I heard your rendition I was blown away! A very accurate cover, and I loved it Jess, I've watched many of your other videos and you are very talented, but I guess you don't need me to tell you that!

Lovely tone and great playing - I loved it - thanks.

[robhaskell]

Jess, simply outstanding. Tone, feel, rhythm all together in one done!

[ronburati]

Excellent touch / feel, phrasing ... all of the above

[billroberts]

I love this young lady’s feel for the material.

[rocketpost]

Wow what an amazing talent this young lady is. She makes it sound so easy and there's some really tricky stuff going on here. Those octave runs are perfectly executed and the playing is impeccable. Need I say more.

[boreed]

Not easy to mimic Benson licks but u managed to do it quite clear and concise obviously u are very talented. Thanks for sharing, u inspire all of us regular guitarist to keep practicing.
