Man, I finally got good use of these Altec-Lansing speaker set I added to this computer.

Thank you, I never knew of the name "Joe Pass" before tonight.

a reply to: Aliensun

right on.
joe pass was the man.
his theory was second to none

Django Doc in French (press CC for English)

For improv, I'd take my nine-fingered Django over Pass any day...


but Pass is a virtuoso guitarist, there's no doubt...

But Django's got that JUMP!

Django Reinhardt Doc

Reinhardt hands down. You know his story right? His fingers on his left (fingering hand) were damaged severely in a wagon fire and FUSED together...he had to find a way to play chords and notes with several of them melted and healed together in a strange configuration.

He was a gypsy and asleep I believe in his families wagon when it started on fire and some plastic type flowers they sold from town to town melted on his hands and he was horribly burned.

What we hear of his recordings...is done with disfigured and deformed hands...making the seemingly impossible...beautiful music.

a reply to: mysterioustranger

yeah i know the story.
its crazy what he could do with his hand messed up.

i still prefer joe pass

Have to go with Joe Pass every time. Still love Porgy and Bess with Oscar Peterson

Django by a long shot for me.
