Live Music – Bil Leonhart

Bil plays an inspired and crystalline improvisational seven string jazz guitar, combining the Bachlike chordal movements of George Van Eps with a fluid fingerstyle and running bass line. The amazing guitarist Gene Bertoncini refers to Bil’s guitar playing as: “…miraculous, spontaneous, harmonic wizardry” and Howard Alden, one of the preeminent seven string players in the world said, in concert, “You’ve got one of the nation’s finest seven string jazz guitarists right here in Ashland, Oregon: Bil Leonhart.”
