That;s the first time I've heard Bickert. He makes that Tele sound fantastic.

not seen this before , s'wonderful thanks

Jim Hall and Herbie Hancock are my favorite compers in combos (especially, good grief, Jim Hall with Art Farmer and Herbie with Wayne Shorter. Just so, so perfect).
Gene Bertoncini does such a wonderful, delightful way of comping singers as a solo backup.

jim hall accompanying paul desmond - you can hear every string - often using one note. and with bill evans too - i love his 4 in the bar on the bill evans records.
wes - certainly the grooviest. fabulous repeating blues figures as chordal accompaniments etc.
i love barry harris with dexter gordon too
duke jordan with charlie parker - many of his intros, for example, are just wonderful.
-
Really like Bucky Pizzarelli as a comper.

My favorite comper is a local guy: Jamie Stewardson. I liked his comping so much I took a few lessons with him. Really helped a lot.

Barry Harris with anybody.
Jim Hall, especially with Sonny Rollins & Paul Desmond.

Listening to "Out of the Past" now. Man he swings like crazy, and he's got tremendous tone. Originally Posted by mr. beaumont

On guitar I really like Charlie Byrd.

I think this is an absolute masterclass on accompaniment by Rene Thomas:

John Pisano gets my vote.
-
For me, Ron Eschete is the man for comping, or Ed Bickert or Howard Alden. All are truly amazing masters of their instrument.

I don't know Ron Escheté.
Can you advise a recording where he comps behind a horn solist ?
-
Have been in awe of Mr Bickert's total musicality since I first heard him.
-
Lots of the greats already mentioned. I'll add another, Herb Ellis.
Here he is doing a fast blues (Wes' "Naptown Blues") with Oscar Peterson. This was after Herb left the trio and Oscar went with a drummer. This album ("Hello, Herbie") was a re-union and this track kicked it off. Herb solos first and does a few comp-choruses in it, then does a lot of comping for Oscar.
-
Listen to I hear a Song Coming On by Sonny Rollins with Clifford Brown, Max Roach, and, the point of this, Richie Powell.
-
Ed Bickert would haven been my first vote too.
My second would be Tuck Andress.
He doesn't play in the usual jazz-settings, but this guy really knows his thing...
Musicality and Virtuosity at its best!

I can hear the Bass quite well in the Lage Lund clip...often Bass sounds too low in the Mix... Originally Posted by Melodic Dreamer

Is this advanced comping done by hearing the melodic line on top then filling it in ?
Chord Melody Comping...kinda ?
Tuck Andress sounds in that Vid like he's trying to do a 'Jazzified Hendrix ' thing almost...but it could be tightened up a lot using pick and fingers Hybrid or a more
Flamenco or Classical right hand...IMO still a cool very "open" approach...in between everything.Last edited by Robertkoa; 07-23-2016 at 11:05 AM.

I love Metheny's comping on this tune -- starting at 2:25 (not to mention his soloing, etc.):
