“You’ll be blown away by his mind-boggling blend of jazz, blues and rock.”
Guitar Player
“Parris is an absolute monster of the guitar — lyrically, technically, sensitively. His finesse bending tones and contouring the dynamics throughout his lines truly gave the sense that he is speaking thru the notes!”
Jazz Improv
“His solos are breathtaking, both in emotional expressiveness and technical command of the instrument. He’s one of those players you hear and can recognize right away, no mean feat in this day in age.”
Vintage Guitar
“I love his tone and fluidity on the guitar. Playing with Gil was a joy.”
Paul Shaffer, Musical Director, Late Show with David Letterman
