I had to post this because I'm really into this guys playing these days - it has been my musical discovery of the last few months. Is anyone familiar with him?
Nguyen Le is a French guitarist of Vietnamese descent - he plays a mixture of rock/jazz/fusion/world music, is a great improviser and plays with a technique slightly reminescent of
Allan Holdsworth. He recently released an album of Hendrix covers done in a world music/fusion style with female vocals - Very interesting stuff. Check out his site:
