Here are a few more clips from some of my favorite jazz guitarists. I am hoping to post some album reviews, interesting jazz links and resources in the next few days, so be sure to check back...
and keep on jazzin'!
Joe Pass riffing on "All the Things You Are"... be sure to check out his "Virtuoso" albums if you have not already- absolutely INCREDIBLE!
Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grapelli's "Hot Club Quintet"- Django was one of THE early jazz guitar pioneers who paved the way for all who followed... there is a bit of commentary in the beginning, but keep listening for some great gypsy jazz! Notice Django's unusual two-finger fretting technique- apparently he was maimed in a fire as a boy and had to develop his own unique way of playing with fewer fingers- he was amazing!
Check out this great clip from Russell Malone. I saw Russell perform live the last time he was here in Philly, and had the opportunity to meet & talk with him after the show. He has played as a sideman for the likes of Diana Krall and Harry Connick, jr., among others, and plays a mean jazz guitar (in the best sense of the phrase- this guy is amazing!). Some of his stuff leans toward the avant garde, but he also has solid classic jazz chops...
Enjoy! More to come soon...
