My One and Only Love - Jack Wilkins

How can anyone play guitar that well and not be famous? Tough business, jazz.

I just noticed the topic a few days ago.

As for the quote from Hornbein, just understand that some great artists will be overlooked; underappreciated. They may still be successful in their art. AND influential.

Gibson semi acoustic, beautiful tone. Having a technique and musical knowledge like that helps!
A young kid?

Hard to pick favorite songs, but....

Snarky Puppy- Lingus


KNOWER- I'm The President


Hella- Baby In A Coma/Child Of No Calendar

Saori Yano does Latin. The band is real good too.

 

[morrobay]

 

[Hornbein]

So who is the best alto sax player in the world?

Saori Yano or Patrick Bartley Junior?

I'm glad I don't have to choose. I'd like to see them both on the same stage but the energy released might bring about the end of the world.

What an amazing Lady, the range she has. In my top 20 jazz musicians.

Does anyone else have that degree of subtlety of inflection? Stan Getz I guess.



The high point though for me is pianist Kenny Barron.
