    What do you think of the Joe Pass?

    I'm humbled by his ability, which is clearly immense, but I've never really been able to connect with solo jazz guitar - there's just not enough tonal variety for me to listen to it on its own. As part of a bigger band, it's fine.

    I was only joking

      He's been called the "Paganini of guitar."

      Yeah, it's a bit difficult. His meanderings seem to be journeys away from the "tune" and I found myself wondering where the HELL he's going with it. When he gets back to the tune, it's almost a relief.

      It's almost like Art Tatum, but without as much coherence.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        It's about the journey out, man, not the return to home.

        Gotta dig it.

                Really enjoying this performance. One of the CSO guest conductors said never trust a radio symphony orchestra - but this performance and the recorded sound are exemplary.

                      Black Midi - Cavalcade

                      What an exciting, original sound these guys have.

                      Very progressive.

                                    This was unexpected. This was linked on the Acoustic Guitar forum. Paul was featured on the cover of the Costco magazine this month and it started a thread because of the all Koa guitar he is holding which lead to this link.

                                    Paul McCartney: “We had two or three afternoons where we just hung out together in a Beverly Hills hotel in the bungalows out the back, and he had his engineer and was set up with a couple of microphones in case anything happened,” he continued. “I was tootling around on guitar, and Kanye spent a lot of time just looking at pictures of Kim [Kardashian] on his computer. I’m thinking, ‘are we ever gonna get around to writing?! But it turns out he was writing. That’s his muse. He was listening to this riff I was doing and obviously he knew in his mind that he could use that, so he took it, sped it up and then somehow he got Rihanna to sing on it."

                                          Until his death in July of 2021, Jerry Granelli was the last surviving member of the original group led by Vince Guaraldi that played the the soundtrack for the iconic television broadcast A Charlie Brown Christmas back in 1965. In this 2014 recording we see the Jerry Granelli trio perform Vince Guaraldi's "Linus and Lucy".
