The grumpy old man vibes on this forum are strong again.
The woman in that madison beer clip playing the pink tele is arianna powell.
Here she is playing her arrangement of a johnny smith song on an archtop..
I’m old fashioned.. sounded appropriate for this thread.

Grumpy Old Man vibes toward younger players who don't get it! When you post something along the lines of Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, John McLaughlin, Jaco Pastorius let us old guys know.
Other wise I'll stay in my own yard, and you kids stay in yours,LOL !

Maybe Bruno Mars (and the Hooligans) and St Vincent are influencing younger singers to perform with bands.

Maybe so, but they basically are Pop entertainers. Bruno s quite the talent, Ill give him his props! Im totally lost with St. Vincent, other than shes cute.
Where are the Real Players and Songwriters? What Happened? Wow!

Without writing a historical treatise on Jazz music, let it suffice to say that there is, IMO, a great generational difference in musical eras and this one, the Y2K, IMO, is very low. Yes, we have artists like Joey Alexander, Wynton Marsalis, Yamandu Costa, Nicholas Payton, Joey D'Fransesco, Jane Monheit, Ana Vidovic, Jocelyn Gould, etc. but pop music has deleteriously effected the genre. So, the battle will never end but we must learn that apples are never oranges . . . unless ,of course, you live in an alternate reality.

Will someone please provide a video example of Bruno Mars' greatness before I choke to death! Everything I've seen is a run of the mill Pop entertainer.

What's up with all the Cuban cigar references??
I've had 'em in Germany and Jamaica. Not really better than Honduran, IMO.
