Eric Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Anyone heard Adam Rogers' CDs on Criss Cross and can recommend 'em? I have been listening to all three the past few months. Hard to pick just one. I think he makes really nice music - heady and passionate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnagrandy Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Not exactly new to the scene, but a lesser known guitarist I've been way diggin' the past couple years is Brian Seeger, still based in New Orleans (I think). Apparently, it's musical devastation down there in terms of getting enough gigs but guys like Brian and Tim Green are trying to glue it back together again. Gotta support them.

Jim Alfredson Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 GG is the first person I think of when hearing PB. Better to find a new sound. The comparisons to Grant Green are inevitable (organist Bill Heid jokingly refers to him as Peter Greenstein), but to my ears, Bernstein is much more fluid and has a much bigger "bag of tricks". Grant repeats himself often, sometimes in the same tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 He also has a very different rhythmic feel, to my ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe G Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 How bout this kid? http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4...=oscar+peterson These two vids must be making the rounds. A friend sent me both Google links. That would be a lot of work to get that solo under your fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 The guitarist on the new Gene Ludwig - Joe Lano - of whom I've never heard before, sounds pretty good. I really like his solo on "Gentle Rain". A lot of P Martino in there. From his photo, he looks as if he's been around since the '60s.

Jim R Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Check this guy out. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6...89799770&q=Jazz 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 honestly, watching that guy play made me feel like someone was scratching fingernails on a blackboard - reminded me, strangely enough (or maybe not so strangely) of Arturo Sandoval - everything he plays sounds like Flight of the Bumble Bee, same with that guitarist - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 (edited) Last weekend I played with a guitarist with whom I was previously unfamiliar. His name was Freddie Bryant, and he was outstanding. I guess he's done some things for the Fresh Sound label as well as recorded with Tom Harrell (on Paradise) and Steve Wilson. Real tasty player. Anyone familiar with this guy? Joe? Jim? I missed this post first time around. No, I don't believe I've heard of him, but I'll keep an ear out. I heard Freddy Bryant on a radio broadcast of Ben Riley's tasty Monk tribute. Without a piano - a smart move for a project like this - Bryant was rather present and did fine. edited for mis-spellink of Bryant's name, sorry!

king ubu Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Flo Stoffner is a good young Swiss guitarist. He plays with Harald Haerter and is on a fine recent disc by Christoph Grab, a local sax player: Those who still have my BFT can hear him on the last tune, Ayler's "Ghost". Then there's Phillip Schaufelberger, member of Lucas Niggli's band Zoom (also Big Zoom, photo below): l.t.r.: Claudio Puntin (clars), Nils Wogram (tb), P.S. (g), Peter Herbert (b), Lucas Niggli (d) The Zoom band is actually a trio, Wogram-Schaufelberger-Niggli, but Niggli has expanded it for many a project to Big Zoom and other larger formats (also did a meeting with a new music ensemble), playing an interesting blend of composed and improvised music. They have several discs out on the Swiss Intakt label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides some "hotshot" horn player probably called the tune and tempo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 actually, I listened to three clips of the same guitarist on that page - he really has no feel for the music, in my opinion - his time is all jittery, he falls into patterns, there's no sense of nuance or real expression - which I think is a common problem for musicians whose technique exceeds their deeper understanding of the music - this may change, it may not - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to go back and watch the other clips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
