Stanford tonight with Eric Alexander: He's part of the faculty at the jazz workshop that I'm taking there this week, they didn't say yet what kind of teaching he's going to do, maybe just a lecture. Alen -----Original Message----- |

Too bad you have to go to California to see a guy who lives in South Philly. I wish he played near home more often. He'll be playing somewhere in Philly in mid-September. Rick -----Original Message----- |

Yeah, I'm studying what Emmons did on Oleo right now.

I dont care for modern Country, but some of those guitar players are intense. Especially the ones who kind of mix it with the bebop stuff. The Brent Mason video is cool. He does a mean George Benson when he wants to. Have you heard the CD "redneck jazz explosion" w/ Gatton and Emmons from '79. It's like an encyclopedia of how to play. And neither of them ever repeat themselves. -Mark --- In jazz_guitar@y..., "Steve Gorman" <gorman@g...> wrote:

Two interesting guitarists
Rick
I've fairly recently come to know about two guitarists who
haven't made it to the USA and who are outstanding players: Antonio Forcione - He's from Italy (duh) but seems to be best known in the UK. He has a bunch of great albums on acoustic guitar on the British Naim-Audio label. When I can locate it, I'll give the list the URL to a 20-plus minute long concert of his that's great if you (unlike me) have a fast Internet connection. Joscho Stephan - A German guitarist who plays in the Gypsy jazz style of Django, early Bireli Lagrene, Jimmy Rosenberg, Christian Escoude, and I've left out many. His technical abilities are scary. He does mostly Django stuff and jazz standards, but also has some great original tunes. His two CDs are called Swinging Strings (1999) and his recent release is Swing News. Great playing if you like Gypsy jazz guitar. You can find their music through European dealers at www.gemm.com, and Forcione has an official Web site at Rick |

Yeah, I like Lenny too - especially "Cabin Fever", plus
those albums he made with Buddy Emmons (anyone know where I can find those?) Minors Aloud w/ Buddy Emmons and Lenny Breau is available here, recording # A-064. Also, Breau is on A-065, entitled "Buddies," which is Buddy Emmons and Buddy Spicher. Steve |

Buddy Emmons: another chordal genius. There's a lot of them.
Oh man, Emmons plays jazz with a vengence on that C6 pedal steel guitar. My first exposure to much of the standard jazz repetiore was from his "Steel Guitar Jazz" album from '62. Indiana, Cherokee, There WIll Never Be Another You, etc.... I think that Emmons is a bit too obscure for some, since he plays pedal steel he gets considered country. But his early albums were a big part of my intro to jazz guitar, and he plays a lot hotter than many folks realize is possible on a pedal steel guitar. Truly a heavyweight.... Steve |

Hi. I think the best ways to learn how to play jazz
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
are to study w/ someone real good, take stuff off records a lot, and practice improvising. No one ever told me that last one, but it's really important. Tape yourself improvising, over changes or not, w/ a metronome and listen back to see if you are rushing or not playing w/ feeling etc. If you let yourself practice w/ bad time, you will have bad time. As far as chords, I learned a lot very young by learning every song, note for note on Wes Montgomery's "incredible jazz guitar" recording. I still find new chords all the time, though, by practicing a standard in one position (Wayne Krantz's "Zone Playing" approach). Example: take "Giant Steps" and play so every finger never leaves the fret position it's on. So my first finger is only allowed to play notes that fit the changes on the first fret on all 6 strings. On a B major 7 chord it would be A# on the A string, D# on the D string and G# on the G string and that's it. No other notes on the first fret are in the key of B major (unless you want to grab a #11). You use the other 3 fingers the same way-each stays on it's own fret. You can do this as a single line or chord exercise. Then shift your hand up a fret to the next 4 fret "zone", and keep doing this all the way up the neck. You'll start to see pieces of chords you never thought of and you'll start to be able to improvise with out thinking about "Oh, it's a Db 7 chord so I'll play a Db7 mixolydian scale". You learn to see what is available to play w/ out running scales starting from the root, etc. I assume that because you've been playing so long that you know the modes. That is the first place to start. Mick Goodrick's "The Advancing Guitarist" is a must- have book for anyone who wants to work on this stuff. Also the Abersold books and CD's are great. I've been getting a lot more into them lately. I hope that made a little sense. Mark PS I learned a whole bunch of chords that are very "un-guitaristic" from Mcoy Tyner's intro to Someday My Price Will Come off the Miles record of the same title. For that matter, any Monk recording will give you a whole set of new chords to work with if you can pick out what he's playing. Buddy Emmons: another chordal genius. There's a lot of them. --- v.ingle@... wrote: Hi Everyone, |

Re: I'm new at this Jazz Guitar thing
Hello E175 guy, I have the same guitar as you which I run
through a Polytone Mega Brute and get quite a good sound. I am in the process of buying a Ken Walton "Waltone" hand made arch top guitar. Ken lives and works in Spennymoor, County Durham in the UK. I wish you all the best with the playing. Best Regards Vernon Fuller St Helens, England |

Re: New Member Introduction
My favorite Jimmy Rainey album is "Live In Tokyo"; great trio music.

I think it's from a Japanese label if I recall correctly, but well worth pursuing. Hank Garland really only made one major jazz album, "Jazz Winds From A New Direction" (although there are a few others - "After The Riots", "Jazz in NY"). It's a classic. Gary Burton was all of 17 when he recorded this, too. Yeah, I like Lenny too - especially "Cabin Fever", plus those albums he made with Buddy Emmons (anyone know where I can find those?) -Jim --- In jazz_guitar@y..., Mark Stanley <bucketfullopuke@y...> wrote:

Re: I'm new at this Jazz Guitar thing

I can improvise ok, where I really need the most help is "Joe Pass Guitar Style," from Mel Bay publications taught me a lot about chords and subs... Great book, no TAB. I also really like one from Fred Sokolow, called "Jazzing it Up," where he takes ordinary every day songs and plays and explains lots of chord substitutions. Sokolow may not be a household word among jazz guitarists, but he is a great teacher. Also, his video "Playing and Understanding Jazz Guitar" is very good, a great introduction to jazz guitar for someone who already plays other styles well Steve |
