AND THEN...

---

Jimmy started playing sessions in 1965, in studios, TV and radio stations, also playing in movie soundtracks such as 'Kings Go Forth', 'Ocean´s Eleven' (the original one) or 'The Wild Bunch'.

He formed The Five Guitars with Tony Rizzi in the 70s.

He moved to San Francisco in the 80s, working as a guitar teacher as well as writing guitar theory books, such as The art of two-Line improvisation.

Jimmy passed away on January 16th, 2010 in Los Angeles, California. A sad loss.
