That was awesome.

Reminds me of Stanley Jordan - saw him back in '80's. Sitting on a bar stool, with a Marshall amp and his guitar at a really small theater. That tapping stuff was real innovative back then.

Here he is doing Autumn Leaves

Yep, Jerome - the dude is phenomenal.  His instrument and technique are amazing.  Would love to examine that axe close up.

However, what I enjoyed even more was finding the Dave Brubeck Quartet videos there alongside the one you linked.  It is an extreme pleasure to see those cats in action.  I've had the 'Time Out' and 'Time Further Out' albums forever but never saw the musicians play.  Very cool guys - no theatrics, no hi-tech gizmos, no frills - just great musicianship.

Topdown, the Stanley Jordan stuff is also magnificent.  Gotta look him up in Wikipedia to see what he is up to now days . . .

I've always been a huge Brubeck fan.  Take 5 was the album that hooked me into jazz way back in the day.  I was pleased to learn that Dave is still touring.

Did you know he met Paul Desmond while they were fighting at Bastogne under George Patton?  We can infer that if it wasn't for Hitler, "Take 5" would have never happened.  big_smile
