My Take
Jennifer Batten is one of those artists I find thrilling to think about. Playing lead guitar on all three of Michael Jackson's world tours, then recording and touring with Jeff Beck, places her among the elite, full stop. What moves me most is the image of a woman commanding center stage in a male-dominated rock world, ripping two-handed tapping in front of stadiums. New York-born, Pasadena-trained, she carries both grit and genuine musical expression. I see her as a true pioneer for women in rock guitar, and I hold real respect for the doors she pushed open through sheer virtuosity.
