"Joe certainly is born to be blue. His original tunes all expand upon the foundation of the blues, but in ways unexpected and always musical. Light on his feet, his guitar playing reflects the swinging history of his chosen instrument: a clean and resonant sound, negotiating chord changes with ease, every note in the right place, and always with a touch of the blues. If you’re looking for swinging and musical jazz guitar playing, look no further than Joe Wittman."  - James Chirillo, of Benny Goodman and JALC fame
