As a Professor of Guitar at Berklee College of Music, there is a certain quality that makes Jim Kelly stand out among his peers. In his own words he explains, "I've learned as much from the students over the years, truthfully, as they have from me. You get a guy that comes from some other place and he starts playing some of his national stuff. It's like, 'Whoa. That's the real thing right there.' That speaks volumes of the person, and his tap into talent. He has worked with people who span the musical spectrum, from Duke Robillard to Gary Burton. He shares the bill tonight with Julien Kasper.
