"Chris Johnstone has a style crafted across decades, informed by the melodicism of players such as Jim Hall, the bebop intricacy of Tal Farlow and the rhythmic charisma of Wes Montgomery.

 

He is one of few guitarists who have employed the right hand thumb technique of Montgomery, and his mastery of this explains his deep and authentic jazz tone."
