He was born and raised in Harlem. He was mugged in front of his building when he was 10. He played in a hard rock band at 12, got ripped off by a club owner on his first gig at 15, and by 18 he was a rapper on a gold record in overseas.

Info
Pronounced: Me-kel-ay), was born in the Italian Mediterranean fishing town of Mazara Del Vallo, Italy - on the coast of Sicily. He grew up in a small village of 300. His playgrounds were vast grape-vineyards, rocky hillsides and olive orchards... sheep & rock-lizards. He played guitar with the barbers in the little town square and hid his school books in the fields of ancient volcanic caves because he only wanted to 'play music' - not go to school! At age 13 he entered music conservatory where he took up violin studies. By 17 he had his first professional contract with the Italian State Symphony Opera House in Palermo.

Artist Info
(from artist's site) - Jimmy Raney was the definitive cool jazz guitarist, a fluid bop soloist with a quiet sound who had a great deal of inner fire. He worked with local groups in Chicago before spending nine months with Woody Herman in 1948. From then on he was in the major leagues, having associations with Al Haig, Buddy DeFranco, Artie Shaw, and Terry Gibbs. His work with Stan Getz (1951-1952) was historic, as the pair made for a classic musical partnership. Raney was also very much at home in the Red Norvo Trio (1953-1954) before spending six years primarily working in a supper club with pianist Jimmy Lyon (1954-1960). After playing with Getz during 1962-1963, he returned to Louisville and was outside of music until resurfacing in the early '70s. During the 1970s, Raney recorded often for Xanadu. He worked frequently with his son Doug Raney (who has a very similar sound on guitar) and was less active in the late '80s and '90s, up until his 1995 death. (Scott Yanow, allmusic.com)

Be sure to visit Gerald's web site for sample of his style. Gerald is a multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, lap steel and ukulele.
Artist Info
What the critics say... Successfully blending the sounds of jazz blues and swing, Gerald Ross has created a guitar style uniquely his own. Whether he is playing jazz standards, popular favorites, delta and urban blues, Tin Pan Alley melodies, New Orleans rhythms or boogie woogie, it's bound to be a delightful surprise to any listener.
It's hard to say whether the ukulele is making a comeback -- if it will ever again be
as popular as it was in the 1920s and '30s. Certainly many musicians in a number of
different and sometimes unexpected genres such as rock 'n' roll and pop are taking it
up. Not only musicians, either. Warren Buffett, the second richest man in the world,
plays one. (I wonder what Bill Gates plays: a piccolo?)♣
Artist Info
Avi Rothbard is considered by many guitarists and jazz critics as one of the most tasty, swinging and extremely aware Jazz guitarist in New York. His style of playing is unique; his music displays a personal touch of harmony and melodic rhythm with many recognized great jazz among his influences.
