Jazz guitar and drum duos?

**edward74** · 04-10-2018, 01:08 PM

Are there more examples of this? It seems rare. I could only find these...

Young Frank Vignola, Jimmy Rosenberg and Joe Ascione on brushes...AWESOME!!

And this nice, funky twosome...

The only example I can think of right now is John McLaughlin and Billy Cobham:

Bill Frisell and Paul Motian did some duo stuff (I saw them live ages ago; not sure if they recorded).

John

More along the lines of this: Bruce Forman & Jake Reed...

It's almost like I'm asking are there any guitarist playing with guys who play on things other than drums

I know there’s some horns, but it’s mainly Charlie and Dave Tough:

Guitar and percussion:

Oh yeah! That's a good behind the scenes track. If only Charlie Christian was on film, what a treasure that would be!

Larry Coryell, on one of his early albums, does a duet with Elvin Jones.

Check out Chris Crocco, he's from the George Garzone school. He has a few duets out on YT.

Charlie Hunter's 8-string days, for this song, percussion is overdubbed but the rest of the album is live.

So, since I ran into the Bruce Forman clip, I see that he did an album with Jake Reed and another percussionist named Jay Bellerose album called Junkyard Duo. Nice under 2-minute ideas that sound all improvised.

+1 for Chris Crocco!

ISTR that Jim Hall and Joey Baron did a duo album (never heard it, maybe there were other instruments on it as well?). And Baron and Bill Frisell at least had a duo but may or may not have been recorded. Gene Bertoncini has a bossa album with percussion. And there's this:

Guitar and spoon on a table

Here's a whole concert for you!
John Moulder and Paul Wertico (who used to play with some guy named "Pat Metheny").

Golly, I saw this performance on TV about 15 years ago, and these guys became my favorite guitar/drums duo....

1968, from Larry Coryell's album, Lady Coryell, the tune "Stiff Neck" features just Coryell and drummer Elvin Jones. Another tune "Treats Style" adds Jimmy Garrison on bass.
