Jazz San Javier invites the new prodigy of the guitar from the United States; Solomon Hicks, with only twenty years, this fabulous guitarist, singer and precocious entertainer, is one of the most pleasant surprises to come out of the city of New York in the last few years, musically speaking. Precisely there in his neighborhood of Harlem, his fans know him as "King Solomon" or "East Montgomery", this last nickname in reference to the legendary Wes Montgomery; and it is not an exaggeration, Solomon's guitar reminds us of Wes Montgomery and George Benson when he plays jazz, and is equally prodigious when he plays blues or rock and roll. A great artist to be discovered, with enough talent to be one of the greats in the next few years.
