Jazzy Stuff is simply my note pad ...... I am just listing thoughts, bits and pieces, links and music clips as I go along
- some things I would like to share. Have fun!
Dans un Club de
St Germain-des-Pres. Paris. 1956.
Anonymous.
Tal
Farlow
It was Tal who
got me started back in the late 50's. Back then
he was really distinctive - doing things I hadn't heard
before. I loved his harmonic sense but I just
couldn't work out how he managed the fingering.
Take a look at this and you can begin to see how.
This was recorded later in his career (past his immaculate
best) but I love it because he does what we do -
he fluffs a few phrases here and there but ...... I wish!
Sal
Salvador
Next up was
Sal. I'll post some stuff from time to
time.
Johnny
Smith
Joe Pass
I probably have more
shelf space dedicated to Joe than to anyone else, yet too
much Joe does n't work for me. He can really
make me melancholy I just dip in when I'm
in the mood.
Here are a
couple of versions of the same piece - what
versatility!
If you like this try his CD "ForDjango". "Unforgettable"
is a great album too and one of my favourites is "Ira, Goerge and Joe"
He was so, so good!
Barney
Kessel
I've mentioned
these guys alongside my notes on the collection so I will
get round to adding something here when I can.
