John Scofield, Larry Carlton & John Patitucci - All Blues
Greger Hoel
Some stellar playing in this performance; especially John Patitucci
tears it up. The only thing that sucks is the first half or so of Larry
Carlton's solo, where he plays faster than he can keep up with.
Abercrombie, Coryell and Tal are present too, but they don't solo.

It seemed very competitive to me; the comping was often overshadowing
the solo, and it seemed like Carlton was trying to upstage instead of
compliment or contrast what he'd been given; I dunno, but Pattitucci
really, really SAID something. Thanks for posting that.

Yeah, 5 guitar players, no chick singers.

Best Scofield I ever heard, and that's saying something. Thanks!
Yeah! He looks good in a tux too.
The rest of it I could do without.

I don't understand why the drummer started doing that fast hi-hat
thing on Larry's solo. The 2nd half of the solo worked, but he was
trying to interact with the background for the first half, with that
obnoxious drum thing.
Sco sounds good on this. I don't hear any comping overshadowing. There
*are* 5 guitarists comping. Considering that, I thought the comping
was pretty laid back.

Heheh.. Yeah, but IIRC the butchering in that case was soemwhat
debatable. Here, otoh, he's clearly not up to realising his own ideas.
I just watched it again, and now the start of his solo seems even worse
than the fast part he fudged. I got a "Clapton shreds" flashback from
watching the start again.

outplayed Larry that night. It's so easy to judge from the comfort of
your ergonomically designed computer chair. It's not so easy to know
what to do when you're onstage with four or five other guitar players
trying to play something that both the audience and your fellow
musicians will respond to. Last time I was in that situation the guy
who got the most applause was the one who played his guitar behind his
back.
Anyway, I thought it was kind of cool hearing Carlton stretch out of
his "Tasteful L.A. Ex-Session Guy" mode to try something
adventurous.

Everybody needs a frame of reference. How are you going to truly appreciate
the good stuff if you can't tell it from the bad stuff?

haha, I actually thought Carlton's solo was fun to listen to, Billy
Hart's accompaniment was interesting and varied throughout, and
Patitucci's playing was technically phenomenal, full of great moments,
though almost intolerably hammy and about 3 choruses too long - I bet
after plowing through about 500 guitar solos all night, he felt
compelled to prove he could get more house than anyone on stage with 6
strings... The guitar free-for-all chorus after the bass solo was the
proverbial "fire in a pet store" - horrific. Hmm, what else... they
looked silly in tuxedos and those diagonal neon lights behind the
stage were utterly at the wrong angle. :)
