George Benson says “Diego is one of the greatest guitarists I’ve seen in my whole life.”
Guitar World magazine wrote “Next up was a true virtuoso, jazz guitarist Diego Figueiredo. Yes, we were all mesmerized by his amazing head of hair. But it was his incredibly fluid and natural performance style, his sense of true enjoyment as he dazzled us and his good-natured entertaining approach that truly grabbed us. Wow. I don’t even know what else to say. Seemingly effortless and thoroughly fabulous.”
Frank Alkyer, publisher of DownBeat Magazine, wrote “The music of Diego Figueiredo has the ability to take your breath away in so many ways.”
