Here are a couple of live dates I would consider picking up... Not a quartet or quintet date; but I would check out Pat Martino, Live at Yoshi's. State of the art organ trio music with Joey D. and Billy Hart. Pat Martino has never sounded better IMO. Also check out Wes Montgomery, Full House (recorded "live" At Tsubo- Berkeley, CA). Wes is on fire and Johnny Griffin plays great. Plus you get the wonderful backing of "The Trio".

That's cool, I only watched to one. I have to go back and watch the other clips.

Hey, it's only one 2:30 minute clip from one song. Besides some "hotshot" horn player probably called the tune and tempo!

That's scarey good. Looks like Andreas has listened to a little Barney Kessel and Django. Django for sure, but the stuff he was doing on the archtop didn't really remind me of Kessel... more like Robert Conti, Jimmy Bruno, etc.... firework city! I have to say, though, that as awesome as his technique is, and as exhilarating as it is to watch (especially for a guitar player with close to no chops ), I also find it kind of tiring. Take a breath, for cryin' out loud! The obvious question: But can he play a ballad? Regarding Kessel, I thought the first 1/3 or so of his solo was reminiscient of Kessel, at least in it's overall contour. After that, he does go pretty deep into his bag of tricks and it gets at little less interesting. But what a bag of tricks.

Just picked up "Big City" by Dave Stryker. This guy can play. Looking forward to exploring some of his other releases.

Me too, sold it during a rough period and have since bought it again. Great set, it *all* sounds good! No, I have two sets.

I like it so much I bought two sets.

Totally agree, one of my pet patterns.

Ditto

Honda & Toyota are the new "American" car companies. GM, Ford, and Chrysler have essentially become lending agents that just happen to make cars. Pretty sad.

Another beautiful guitar Kenny's Latest Axe $4400 street price.

That's more like it!

Great songs, however I'm a bit surprised. No Jobim or Bonfa etc.?

FYI- It's available. Just placed my order at yourmusic.com for the Cellar Door Sessions.

The Shadow Of Your Smile

Her albums are a little uneven, however I keep buying them so that must say something. Also, a very good live performer, well worth checking out.

No Erroll Garner

Pretty much always smile when I listen to one of his records. RIP Buck.

I've noticed that the end of Sidewinder is quite a bit faster than the beginning. That probably explains it.

Artie Shaw

I bought his latest release and pretty much feel the same way. I like it but there is a certain sameness to it overall. Need to give it a few more spins, however I tend to agree that a change is in order...

It doesn't suck.

Here's a few a really like.... Ah Hum Miles Smiles Burrell & Coltrane Monk & Trane Lush Life

You could also get one of these.... Outlaw RR2150
