like him on the scene?
Thanks,

I like Scott Henderson. I haven't heard any new players like him, but the
new Mike Stern disc is pretty cool. I still dig Scofield, Robben Ford,
Hiram Bullock and McLaughlin (his new trio is real nice).

Henderson? Yuk, I could choke on him. He's lame..he should be a rock
guitar player..I bought one of his Tribal Tech ablbums,, I think it was
called Face First, I had to burry it in the back yard it was so bad..

I picked up a Wayne Krantz tape (Signals) as a cut-out that's in this
bag--although it's more NY than LA. Killer NY sidemen like Don Alias,
Jim Beard, Hiram Bullock, Dennis Chambers, Anthony Jackson, and Leni
Stern (Krantz plays in her band). Great stuff for a dollar.

I like Krantz' playing, but I wasn't knocked out by his disc. It hasn't
quite earned a spot in my backyard though.

I like Scott Henderson a lot too. Re others like him: they are not that "new"
but have you heard any Mike Stern or Frank Gambale? Mike albums are pretty
dependable but you might start with _Jigsaw_ and _Is What It Is_. Frank is
much more variable but _The Great Explorers_ and _Passages_ are the albums I
think you'd like best. Note too that Mike did some good work with Miles Davis
in the early '80's and Frank (like Scott) had a tenure with the Chick Corea
Elektric (sic) Band.
I hope this helps. Enjoy!

Krantz' _Long To Be Loose_ is even better. As the title implies,
Krantz and the rest of his trio are looser on this one; chord
progressions with twists that take you by surprise and great
interplay between the players. Also, Krantz concentrates more
on improvising harmonies in his solos than single-note improv
although there's quite a bit of single-noteburning as well. REally
sets him apart from the other fusioneers.

Wow, jazzman! What do you *really* think about Henderson? What
jazz guitarist do you like?

Lifetime for the 90's. Medeski is a keyboard player/Fuze the guitarist.
Lunar Crush is on Grammavision and is worth the search IMHO

Scott really is great! I have almost all of his Tribal Tech recordings, and I
especially like _Spears_ and _Illicit_. I once saw Tribal Tech live and it was
one of the best concerts I've ever seen.
Do you happen to know any recordings of other artists (besides Chick) on which
Scott plays?
Mike Stern is a bit more blues-orientated than Scott Henderson. You should also
try _Time in Place_ which is IMO his best recording.
Also a great guitarist, but quite different from Stern and Henderson is John
Scofield. Check out _Hand Jive_, _Still Warm_ and _Blue Matter_.

Come, come now. I hope you're not basing your opinion on that one album.
I've been following this guy's work for some time now - I'd agree he's
getting more and more bluesy as time goes by, which in my opinion is
a bit of a shame. But he has been incredibly inventive in the not-too
distant past.
Better examples of his work may be found on the first two Tribal Tech
albums, "Spears" and "Dr. Hee" if you can find them.
His stuff with the Zawinul Syndicate is also pretty good.
But I can understand where you may be coming from. A colleague of mine
recently picked up "Dog Party" by Scott Henderson and took it back to the
record shop pretty sharpish. Pure blues, apparently.

Frank Gambale is VERY variable. A safe bet is the "Frank Gambale Live"
CD. Sheer fireworks.
I hope you have more success finding this CD than I do here in the UK. I've
got a duff recording of it, and I've never even SEEN the CD in my life.

_Dog Party_, I think.

Try "Players", a half-studio, half-live album with Scott Henderson, Jeff
Berlin on bass, T Lavitz on keyboards and Steve Smith on drums (Passport
Jazz, PJCD 88014, 1987).
It's very good, esp. 'The Creeping Terror', a really smokin' blues piece
featuring Scott Henderson. He's an outstanding blues guitarist. In fact, I
heard that he's just released a more blues-oriented album (title, anyone?) ,
which should be a welcome change from his enjoyable but rather repetitive and
predictable fusioneering.

In my opinion, Henderson's strong blues roots are what sets him apart
from the flock of other L.A. fusion guitarists (like Gambale). If you
take the blues out of Henderson, you get Gambale or Shawn Lane (or dozens
of others with similar chops, tone, influences). He (Henderson) likes to
play a lot of symmetrical, interval-based patterns, like Holdsworth. But
he keeps it all grounded with a constant blues reference point. But
obviously, the right mixture of blues with other elements is a matter of
personal taste. I haven't heard the Dog Party CD. Maybe I'll choke on it.
