Comments
Guitarist from Indianapolis, Indiana, who played blues, jazz, and R&B. Although underappreciated by the public during his lifetime, Jennings was much admired by fellow musicians, including Louis Jordan, Bill Doggett, and Willis Jackson (all of whom employed him) and B.B. King (who cites Jennings as one of his favorites).
