“"The Hallmark Sessions" is an extraordinary release. Breau plays beautiful chords (sounding a little like Johnny Smith in spots) and inventive single-note lines. It is remarkable that this music was not released until 2003, but a happy event that it was finally put out. This is a must for Breau fans and an important release for all jazz guitar lovers.” LittlesImportantPlayBeautifulLinesFansEventsLoversJazzNotesExtraordinaryGuitarSpotsReleaseRemarkableChordsSessionHallmark Author:Scott Yanow
