Many excellent musicians originate from the Chicago area, including guitarist James Vincent, whose resume reads like a brief history of modern music. From blues and jazz to fusion and salsa, from studio musician and solo artist to writer and composer, Vincent has never been content to be a student of one style. Raised in the blues‑rich south side of Chicago, he studied the methods of B.B. King and Johnny Smith. He fashioned his finger‑picking guitar technique after the great Chet Atkins.
