Hedges, an extraordinary musician named by Guitar Player magazine as one of the "25 Guitarists Who Shook the World" blended elements of jazz, folk, classical and other styles into a hybrid he applied such tongue-in-cheek labels as "violent acoustic," "heavy mental," and "acoustic thrash."  Paying tribute to the genius of this American original, who died in an car crash in 1997, are three former colleagues: the formidably talented bass guitarist Michael Manring, French Algerian acoustic guitar wizard Pierre Bensusan, and, in a rare performance on Hawaiian slack key guitar, George Winston.
