The evening's showstopper was provided by former Michael Jackson/Jeff Beck cohort Jennifer Batten, who performed an amazing and technically dazzling solo arrangement of Lover; she recalled Paul's early multitracking techniques by providing her own beats, rhythm and harmony parts and leads, all presumably done with digital effects.

Cleveland Plaine Dealer:

Of course, in the right hands, the guitar itself can sing, as Jennifer Batten (a veteran of Michael Jackson's and Jeff Beck's bands) demonstrated with a dazzling re-creation of Paul's hit "Lover."

Paul capped the three-and-a-half hour tribute by accepting an American Music Masters award statue and playing a set with the Les Paul Trio, which backed him for a tear-jerking rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” The marathon concert kicked off with renditions of Paul’s material, including a lighter-than-air “Lover (When You’re Near Me)” by Jennifer Batten (Michael Jackson, Jeff Beck)

Jennifer,

JENNIFER BATTEN ITINERARY - Les Paul Tribute

I wanted to thank you once again for being a part of our 2008 American Music Masters tribute to Les Paul. It was truly to honor to celebrate the life and legacy of Les and we were so glad you were able to join us. Your performance of "Lover" was one for the ages!!

We've received tremendous feedback from many people, including the other artists on the bill and Les Paul himself!

GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE CD REVIEW 8-08

"These highly imaginative tracks of "guitronica"--featuring numerous nods to Geoffrey Arnold Beck--are hip, humurous, intelligent, entertaining, and absolutely chockablock with kickass guitar and guitar-synth playing. A bonus DVD containing music videos, commentary, and a tapping lessonprovides the icing on this tasty cake Lion Music.--BC Jennifer is featured in September's Guitar Player Magazine Jennifer is on the cover of Portland's "Buko" Magazine forAugust
