Jazz Guitar Duos

**man-argentina** · 12-13-2018, 10:45 AM

Someones ? Two guitars with no other instruments, or with other instruments. But to listen 2 guitars working.

Lots of them.. use names and google it up... besides official recordings there are lots of clips on youtube like Bernsteins/Sivan for example...

Jimmy and Doug Raney - I guess there are two LPs

Joe Pass and Herb Ellis

Perter Bernstein and Joachim Schoenecker

by the way Peter Berstein and Lage Lund duo gig at Smalls was fantastic... I think it is in their Livestream archive.

and this too

The recent Jimmy Bruno and Frank Vignola sessions are great. And they were videotaped, so you can see them playing. Great stuff.
("Hangin' with Jimmy & Frank". Available only through TrueFire but definitely worth checking out. They also provide a commentary on how / why they played what they did on each tune.)

Frank has also done some great things with Bucky Pizzarelli.

George Barnes and Karl Kress.

Karl used a banjo based tuning, so he sounds a little different.

May have missed it, but didn't see mention in either thread for Chuck Wayne & Joe Puma.

**sgosnell** · 12-13-2018, 05:17 PM

For current players, Howard Alden and Andy Brown shouldn't be missed. Howard and Jimmy Bruno made several recordings together. And I like Herb Ellis/Joe Pass a lot.

Jonathan Kreisberg meets Veras

Thanks everyone replying, and, forgot to say, not only jazz duos, if theres something on working 2 guitars (with more instruments or not) would be good to listen (but not "world music", more fusion/"uncategorized" likely).

One of my favorite guitar duo albums is the one Larry Coryell and Emily Remler made; Together. Great interplay - yea, they really are together on this album.

Also check out Cal Collins with Herb Ellis.

**Stanford J17** · 12-14-2018, 06:58 AM

Howard Alden has some cool recordings with van Eps and with Bucky Pizzarelli.

**arielcee** · 12-14-2018, 07:13 AM

Fiiire!!!!

From the other side of the room:

two duos at once as a trio

duo as a quartet

**guitarbuddy** · 12-14-2018, 09:16 AM

Sylvain Luc and Bireli Lagrene
Jim Hall and Pat Metheny
George Barnes and Bucky Pizzarelli
Bucky and John Pizzarelli
Howard Alden and Marty Grosz
John Abercrombie and Ralph Towner

These are just a few off the top of my head that I didn't see mentioned here already.

Big fan of a couple "duo" groups, though both are more of a latin flair...

Strunz and Farah... Jardin

La Vienta... Train to Paris

Apologies in advance for expanding the definition of guitar duo to guitar ensemble ... but hopefully, after seeing this performance of A Night in Tunisia you'll grant me the degrees of freedom to add this to the growing list of great guitar collaborations.

This is the third in a series of three performances that also includes Isn't She Lovely and Bye Bye Blackbird. Kudos to the lads - what a delightful show!

If you're willing to go to three guitars, there is the Concord Jazz Guitar Collective - Jimmy Bruno, Howard Alden, and Frank Vignola.
The High Plains Riffters - Bruce Forman, Whit Smith, and Rich O'Brien.
Both albums are very good, IMO.
