Did some listening...
Rag, I know you like to do a few takes so ill say I'd like to hear you with some drums this week...I think you had some good lines in there, but without a swinging backing, this tune gets a little glum sounding...
Beagle, welcome to our group (i don't think I've seen you post before) very nice playing...dig the 000 too.
Graham, its funny, ive heard you play a lot over the years but hadn't heard this one. Sounding great...I think you play even better these days, which is saying something! Your swing is a little more laid back and dirty these days, which maybe isn't better, more of a matter of preference, but this old take is pure bop beauty. Great lines.
Triple, as always I dig the energy and attitude. Lots of good lines, great feel
Kris, very cool to hear a Latin take. You and nylon strings seem to get along very well. I'd listen to a whole record of this.
Dogletnoir, fun to hear another of your "let's see what happens" takes. You can hear you figuring out the tune as you go, your ears are working quicker and quicker. Based on the progress you've made in a short time on the last few tunes, ill be interested to see where you go with this.
Ron, enjoyed your take a bunch. I always dig your playing...great time feel, interesting lines. Of I had one nitpick, I think I like your tone on the Guild or tele better. But that's unimportant.
Let me see if I missed someone.
And oh, ive had the Danelectro for about 20 years. I don't play it too often, but every now and then I get the itch to play it...its a very unique sounding guitar, and so light.

Work of genius, my friend :-)

Tal is great and I really like the pianist Eddie Costa- he plays very light and very creative.

One correction though, Tal is playing with real people, not with a backing. The silly 1950s you know.
I know that in the virtual jam thread you are only allowed to say nice things about the participants. The rules clearly state that. But the jazz greats are an exception? OK. Good to know.
By the way, I just checked out YOUR version of Jordu. Indeed, you sound so much better than Tal. Kudos.

It's all a matter of personal taste, DB. I preferred listening to grahambop's lines to the Tal Farlow version. Simple as that, really. If you prefer the Tal Farlow version, that's fine. We all have our thing, don't we?

There are some great recordings left and we can only learn from him.

ps.
I can not write more because I will break the rules of virtual jam.

It's a shame that wgpgsr, who suggested this tune, hasn't done a version yet. Must be busy or something. Neither has John A so him too, I guess.
But it is tricky, no question of that. If I could do it up to speed, I would, but I'm not sure I can.

For the record, I am an extremely harsh critic of my own playing and I don’t like listening to it much, other than to hear all the things that are wrong with it and try to improve. In every one of my clips I could probably point out 20 or so things that I do not like at all. But I suppose that is the attitude you need to get better. I’m not saying this to impress or anything, it’s just the way I am and I’m stuck with it!
It can be problematic, some days I do not touch the guitar at all because of it.
Having said that, of course I am pleased if people enjoy listening to my playing. That gives me a good feeling.
And I do think Tal Farlow is a thousand times better than me!

I liked that comment.There was nothing about who is better or worse.
But you know for me John Scofield is No. 1.I've been a fan of his guitar playing for years.

Hey gang, sorry to post an old vid but as I have zero time to record stuff atm and had this lying around seemed an opportunity. Early lockdown vibes.
Will go through and listen to others if I get a chance. Sorry to not be more involved, great people are still playing, well done to Jeff and all to keep it going…
