Godin 5th Avenue Archtop with acoustic pickup

Jazz arranger Don Sebesky occasionally used drop terminology but mostly spoke in term of range, density, openness, weight, color, etc. Of course voicings for full big band horn sections are far more...

Drop3, Drop2&3, and Drop2&4 chord voicings

Thinking about it, I think you're right, lammie. Milk Duds had a caramel interior I think. The malted balls had a different brand name, which I can't recall now. It's been more than 60 years since...

Yes the ego gets a hit the past few days.

I use the La Bella flat wound 15-56 strings on my Heritage Super Eagle. I’ve been using those for at least the last 10 years. When I bought the guitar I was trying to match the feel on my Gibson...

15 or 16 gauge high e strings

What I hear from the amp is a clearity in attack, a decay envelope that is rich in harmonics and a sustain that changes as the the overtones come into play. That, for me is the sound I go for, and it...

Keyboardists, know our pain

That sounds interesting! Looking forward to it. Thanks for posting.

New John Coltrane Release

Guessing Bruce Edwards?

Sun Ra Guitar Player?

I’m so excited about this! I keep hoping for another recording of Inchworm. I tracked down a bootleg with Dolphy on bass clarinet and it was way less energetic than other examples of their live work...

New John Coltrane Release

I lurk much more than post, and now the community gets a small tangible benefit. I can’t find the discussion, so feel free to link it if you know which one I’m talking about. A couple of people...
