Guitar Duos
Jody Putt
of listening to get some ideas for arrangements. Can anyone recommend their
favorite guitar duo recordings? I'm looking for two guitars only, with no
rhythm section. Also, I'm not much into the gypsy jazz approach, so I'm more
interested in recordings in the classic electric archtop sound and style.
Any tips or advice would also be welcome.
Thanks for your help!

Might be a little esoteric, but I was just listening to Mick Goodrick
and Joe Diorio's duo album of standards called "Rare Birds." Really
interesting stuff.

My favorite is
Jesse van Ruller & Maarten van der Grinten - Van Der & Van
but there are a bunch that I like. The Jimmy Raney/Doug Raney
session, Bireli Lagrene/Sylvain Luc (amazing!), Jim Hall/Pat Metheny,
Alden/Van Eps, of course the old Pass/Ellis sessions, there are a
number of guitar duo pairs on Joe Giglio's website too.

You should check out the CD "Polarity" by Jimmy Bruno and Joe Beck.
You can probably hear some sample tracks at Amazon.com.

Polarity is available on emusic.com
Norm K
Homage by Adrian Ingram and John Pisano
Two in the Pocket by Steve Abshire and Vince Lewis
Straight Tracks by Herb Ellis, Barney Kessel and Charlie Byrd (OK, not
a duo and Byrd plays a classical but still might have some stuff you
can use)

but there were also quite a few that I've never heard of. I'm listening to
some Alden/Van Eps stuff now (Seven and Seven), and really enjoying it.
I'm using the Rhapsody music service to find these. If you've never checked
it out, I think it's great for this kind of "research". For $10 a month, you
get unlimited access to their entire music library, and a nice search tool
for finding things. It's by no means a complete jazz guitar collection, but
I was surprised at the selection, even for some of the more obscure stuff.
You don't actually own the music you add to your library, which some people
don't like, but if you find something you really like, you can either buy it
from them, and download it permanently, or go out and buy the CD. It beats
the heck out of listening to low quality 10 second samples on the online CD
stores.
Thanks again!

You could do worse than "moonglow" by Bucky and Frank Vignola. They
stay close to the melody but it's very effective and listenable. It's
got a lot of attention.
I guess maybe my favorite purely-duo CD is Emily Remler and Larry
Coryell, "Together". Maybe because we have so little from her. Larry
plays his version of the original Joy Spring intro, which few folks
seem to use nowadays.
Though they have a bass on some of the tunes, don't miss our own Tim
Berens with Dan Faehnle "Live at Sips Cafe". I've listened to it so
many times I've worn it out (that's a joke--digital, you know). It is
a great example of wonderful interplay and musicianship.
Jimmy B has made several great duo CDs, but I think my favorite is
"Full Circle", with Howard Alden. Some of it is just duo, some with
bass and drums. It's all great, tho!
Then there's Bucky and John on "The complete Guitar Duos, the Stash
sessions" and others.
Then there are the classics: Chuck Wayne and Joe Puma "Interactions".
Billy Bean and John Pisano, "West Coast Sessions". George Barnes and
Carl Kress -"Two Guitars".
Others have already mentioned the many duos of Joe Pass and Herb
Ellis.

Try Louis Stewart and Heiner Franz and I think Lenny Breau and Tal
Farlow and John Pisano and many including Ted Greene

> interesting stuff.
I have been looking for that one for a long time. It is obviously out
of print. I am a little behind on new technology. Is there actually
nowadays a way to buy the music and download it?
Another great guitar duo album that comes to mind is John Abercrombie
and John Scofield's "Solar - the Bebop Album".
Best wishes,

These are excellent albums (you have good taste :-) but they mainly include
rhythm section (he wanted just 2 guitars).
Louis Stewart has an older solo album from the 1970s with him overdubbing
rhythm gutar and lead on standards so it is effectively guitar duets.
It is "Out on His Own"
http://www.jardis.de/cds/jrcd9612.htm
one of my favourite albums of all time.

I should have also said that for anyone in the UK. Try to catch Gary
Boyle and John Richards. They play without a rhythm section and will
probably be on at the Southport Jazz festival. These two are the real deal.

Bucky and Howard Alden also have a CD, "In a Mellow Tone". Some nice
arrangements....

Is that Gary Boyle from the 70s band "Isotope"?

It is indeed the very same Gary Boyle. John Richards is a top Uk session
musician.

fantastic duo performance - Joe Pass and Roy Clark. I can't find it
right now, though...

Although hard to find (I don't even think Van Sant has this one), "New York
Guitar Trio", a standards disc with Ben Monder, Steve Cardenas and Bruce
Saunders playing in all combinations of duo and trio, no bass & drums is
great.
Also:
Peter Bernstein/Satashi Inoue
Ed Bickert/Lorne Lofsky (w/bass & drums)
John Stowell/Christopher Woitach
Jimmy Bruno/Jack Wilkins (mostly w/bass & drums)
Peter Leitch/Heiner Franz

Morey, you underestimate me :) Of course I have New York Guitar Trio.
But I haven't broken down yet and paid $40 or whatever import rate for
the Peter Bernstein/Satashi Inoue set. Man, I'd forgotten about that
one. I'd really like to hear that.

They've taken down the original and replaced it with a low quality
version.

selection and reminded me how charming it is:
Howard Alden and George Van Eps - Night and Day
and, of course, all their other ventures together.
