> and HAnk GArland Jazz Winds form a New Direction

I remember stumbling into the velvet sounds lp at a drive-in theater swap
meet. I knew some of his country, rockabilly picking. Finding him in jazz
was one of those important crossovers for me, then a mid teen rockabilly
blueser. Velvet sounds came right about the same time as Grant Green's
western thing for me... I caught them both near the same time. Opened things
up considerably.
I got to jazz winds a bit later. What a class act.

Hank has been very important to/for me, his ability to cross what some deem
lines.

the Velvet Guitar gal on blue cover thing. Getting to Jazz Winds was
something again. The first was fine. The second, finer still.

That single to this day is my all-time favorite song. What a gorgeous
rendition of a song that makes you just be happy to be alive. Need more of
that kind of influence nowadays. And, of course, nobody can sing it like LA
did.

Jimmy;

Glad to see you're a fan of Tony and k.d.; they're two of my all time
favorite singers. I have that Louis Armstrong record too; I'll have to dig
it back out and give it a listen (haven't heard it in years).

BTW, it was great to meet you at the guitar congress; sorry I didn't get a
chance to talk to you more. I really enjoyed finally getting to hear you
play live, too. Two of the highlights of the congress for me were hearing
the trios of you, Howard Alden and Martin Taylor, and the one of you,
Howard, and Jim Hall.
Also enjoyed hearing you, Howard, and Cheryl Bailey tear up Donna Lee.
Still hoping you can make it to south Florida some day.

my 3 latest favorite CD's;

(oddly enough) k.d. lang; Drag
Jonathan Kreisberg; 9 Stories Wide
Everybody Digs Bill Evans

Lately I've been enjoying these CD's:

1.John Scofield Trio - EnRoute/Live
This is shaping up to be my favorite Scofield CD of all time. I own every
release he's put out except for "Up All Night", and this is up there with "Time
On My Hands" and "What We Do", as well as that Miles Davis tribute CD he did
with Joe Henderson.

2.Charlie Haden - The Montreal Tapes
This is a recent release and it's a live trio with Joe Henderson and Al Foster.
They sound great, even though Charlie's solos can be really long.

3.McCoy Tyner - Super Trios
Two trios that kick butt. McCoy with Ron Carter/Tony Williams or Eddie
Gomez/Jack Dejohnette.

mine are:

norman blake and tony rice - self titled. really great musical guitar
playing!
phil woods quintet - bouquet. tom harrell sounds amazing on this
record!
maria schneider - allegresse. I am like addicted to this record.
definitely one of my top ten cds of all time.

incidentally I saw maria's orchestra last week, performing tunes from
her new record. they played a simply gorgeous song called "sky blue".
really emotional performance, she had me and most of the audience damn
close to tears. donny mccaslin is playing tenor with her now, his
playing is just out of this world.

I saw the orchestra with Schneider conducting one time at Visiones (must
be more than 10 years ago), which I think is now defunct. There was one
guy I remember really well playing the shit out of an alto. I was
totally impressed that night, but have not found any recordings that
capture the feeling I got. Any suggestions?

Yo,

I think I am a binge listener. I get on to something and it is all
I'll listen to for weeks. Lately it has been;

Pat Martino's "The Maker" especially the first tune. LIKE A FREIGHT
TRAIN!!!! when it gets going.

Pat Martino's "Interchange" I really dig the piano player on both cds.
I think his name is Jim Reidl.

Charles Mingus's "Better get it in your soul" I must have listened to
this a thousand times and that is not hyperboil and every time I here
it I hear something new. Just amazing.

I also listen to a lot of Pat Metheny and Jim Hall. I hope to catch
Mr. Bruno sometime in So Cal.

Regards,

Jeff

Louis Armstrong was just the man. I so loved him when I was a kid. He
died while I was in high school and I cried like a baby. Almost all his
stuff is pretty great. I love the Hot 5's and 7's, his stuff with Ella,
particularly Porgy and Bess. I had a radio show in college and used to
play him singing If I could Talk to the Animals, in which he had some
good little asides while the honky choir sang away.

since the Guitar Congress I have been listening to Juan Martin a lot. He
was such a nice humble guy and a beautiful player that it has me fixin'
to work on some flamenco stuff. also been listening to the Gypsy Kings

also been listening to Jim Hall Live in Japan, I love his that version
of Concerto de Aranjuez

The other really nice one I have been enjoying is Charlie Haden and
Kenny Barron's Night and the City

almost the same music. When I listen to Garland and Smith I recall the day
when "Musicianship" was something to be revered. These guy's who think they
play fast should listen to the fact that not only are Garland, Smith, and
Martino fast............they are precise!! Also any one of them can play one
note per measure and it drips with soul. Thanks for making my
day............Gary Beck

Hank Galand is a guitar god. I am very happy to have his autographed

wondered if Hank listened to Howard Roberts or vice versa, they seem to
have much in common.

Yep. Love it. Seems to work real well. Do you like it that way or was it

I first saw B.B. King live in Bloomington, Indiana (1970?). I haven't
overdosed on jazz since then, as best as I can remember. Here's my
current three favorites:

Tony Bennett and Bill Evans (1975)

1. Young and Foolish performed by Evans / Tony Bennett - 3:55

3:56

4. When in Rome performed by Evans / Tony Bennett - 2:55
5. We'll Be Together Again performed by Evans / Tony Bennett -
4:39
6. My Foolish Heart performed by Evans / Tony Bennett - 4:50
7. Waltz for Derby performed by Evans / Tony Bennett - 4:04
8. But Beautiful performed by Evans / Tony Bennett - 3:37
9. Days of Wine and Roses performed by Evans / Tony Bennett -
2:22

Jack Wilkins and Jimmy Bruno "Heading North" (2001)

2. One Note Samba [Duo] performed by Wilkins / Bruno - 4:34
3. Kiwi Bird performed by Wilkins / Bruno - 4:54
4. You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To [Duo] performed by Wilkins /
Bruno - 4:36
5. Some Time Ago [Trio] performed by Wilkins / Bruno - 4:57
6. Perdido [Duo] performed by Wilkins / Bruno - 4:53
7. When I Fall in Love [Trio] performed by Wilkins / Bruno -
5:00
8. Carninhos Cruzados [Duo] performed by Wilkins / Bruno - 6:16
9. Voyage performed by Wilkins / Bruno - 6:40
10. There Will Never Be Another You [Duo] performed by Wilkins
/ Bruno - 2:04
11. Move [Duo] performed by Wilkins / Bruno - 3:06

13. In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning performed by Wilkins
/ Bruno - 2:18
14. Broadway [Duo] performed by Wilkins / Bruno - 4:06

Karrin Alysson "Ballads: Remembering John Coltrane" (2001)

9. Naima (Coltrane) - 6:38
10. Why Was I Born? (Hammerstein/Kern) - 3:42
11. Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye (Porter) - 6:01

My favorite DVD's are currently the new release from Jimmy Bruno and
Jack Wilkins, "Live, From the Theater at Washington, Virginia (1999)"
and "Triplets of Belleville." The "Triplets" get top honors, because,
IMHO, the best actor award for 2003 should have gone to the dog named
Bruno from that movie. Jimmy and Jack play great, tell good jokes, and
dress sharply. But can they bark convincingly at trains? The theme
song is pretty nice, too, but it's all about the acting chops.

Forget the dog! There's a new footage of Django showing how the man actually

Sco's Bump; I love the grooves on this. Makes me think of changing my
playing direction and buying a Tele.

from a completely different direction, one of my most listened to CD's
from the past year is Gillian Welch's Soul Journey. Fantastic
Americana roots songwriter.

I think Wes' Impressions: The Verve Jazz Sides is wonderful.

Now that's interesting, Paul. I don't hear of too many people who are
deep into jazz list Tony Rice and Norman Blake as being among their
favorites. Both of those guys get a very pure, beautiful tone from
the acoustic guitar.

What I've been listening to lately is "Rhythm Willie" with Herb Ellis,
Freddie Green, et al, and George Barnes and Ruby Braff, "Live at the New
School" and the Gershwin album. My tastes change from time to time, but
that's what is in my CD and MP3 players this week, and probably next.

Jimmy,

I believe that I found it at J&R Music World here in NYC, last fall,
before the John Pisano night at Birdland. Their website does not
indicate that they have it in stock now. Amazon.com and DVD Empire
claim to be able to get it in a couple weeks, but you know how that
usually goes.

All Django fans should analyze that "footage" to get a few "tips" on
how to play in his style. But, seriously, I think that Bruno's dream
sequences are the best thing on film since Felini's "Amarcord." I will
not be swayed from my views on this matter!

Thanks for the info. Does he sing on record anymore? Apparently he had
a problem with his vocal chords and lost his singing voice.

I replied to this thread several days ago and for some reason my message
never showed up, so I'm resending it now:

Jimmy:

Glad to see you're a fan of Tony and k.d.; they're two of my all time
favorite singers. I have that Louis Armstrong record too; I'll have to dig
it back out and give it a listen (haven't heard it in years).

BTW, it was great to meet you at the guitar congress; sorry I didn't get a
chance to talk to you more. I really enjoyed finally getting to hear you
play live, too. Two of the highlights of the congress for me were hearing
the trios of you, Howard Alden and Martin Taylor, and the one of you,
Howard, and Jim Hall.
Also enjoyed hearing you, Howard, and Cheryl Bailey tear up Donna Lee.
Still hoping you can make it to south Florida some day.

my 3 latest favorite CD's;

(oddly enough) k.d. lang; Drag
Jonathan Kreisberg; 9 Stories Wide
Everybody Digs Bill Evans

when I saw him at the guitar congress recently (which he sounded great at),
his speaking voice was REALLY gravelly and low, almost like a country
version of Miles. It actually really added to his "soulful quiet and humble
but deadly old west gunslinger" vibe.

Tony Rice: Acoustic flatpicker. He had a great voice for folk and
bluegrass but he developed a problem with his vocal chords and had to
stop singing.
