that maddox brothers guitar solo sounds a lot like the later guitar work of paul burlison/grady martin? with the johnny burnette trio!..
cool track
cheers

I think it has phrasing more in line with Hank Garland or Thumbs Carlisle. Check this one out boys.

^ One of my favourite Gainsbourg tracks. Just dig the bass line. And an early appearance by Austin Powers in the background!

Just found out Duke Robillard's tune this month at Sonic Junction is Bill Jennings' "Glide On." This week, the chords, and some comping ideas. Next week, the head.

More Alex Schultz. Duke Robillard posted this on his Facebook page. Alex will be playing with Duke on his (and his band's) upcoming two-week European tour.
Duke has had rotator cuff trouble--I think he had surgery and has been recovering for awhile now. I'm not sure if he's back to 100 % yet....
Lot of bebop quotes in these solos!

yeah, you can do worse than use parker heads as solos. i finally started listening to it w/ watching cuz i kept getting distracted by all his switch flipping.
just came across this -- missed it when it came out. since we've al;ready done saunders king and t-bone, here's one of my other favorites.

yeah, it got me playing get rhythm again. and wanted man.
btw, you or someone else upthread mentiong the weidlich book on t-bone and charlie christian.
i have it. haven't worked through it entirely yet, but it's interesting although pretty idiosyncratic. it takes off from that last section in his book on charlie's chord shapes, where weidlich talks about charlie's roots in country blues and the mechanics of his playing. this new book seems to be aimed at an audience of jazz guitarist who are already reasonably comfortable with basic theory but have never had any real exposure to the blues. he spends a lot of time working carefully through explanations of hand position, the mechanics of bending, etc. for folks already familiar with blues playing styles, that section will seem weirdly remedial. but maybe lots of folks learning jazz guitar now don't start with blues?
that's followed by a lot of detailed discussion of basic t-bone licks. and then some useful transcriptions of 3 versions of flying home, including 2 airshots, one of the songs that isn't included in ayeroff's big book of cc transcriptions. i haven't checked weidlich's transcriptions against the recordings yet. but he also has a brief transcription of oscar moore that looks accurate. and lots of interesting examples of the places in various solos where charlie actually bent notes.
then the appendix has another brief historical essay on the origins of r&b and a section adapting barrelhouse piano to guitar. that bit seemed like something weidlich just had sitting around. since bending is the central motif of the book-- t-bone did a lot, charlie did a lot less-- i'd think that lester young would be a more obvious comparison. but of course, any of us interested in that-- or in doing something similar with, say oscar moore's work --still can.

Here's Dave Barbour with Peggy Lee, the version of "Why Don't You Do Right" from 1950. (She sang it earlier with Benny Goodman.)
-
i dig barbours tone on that one too..he's the 1/2 speed django..(one fingered django hah)
cheers
-
Here's a clip of Peggy Lee with the Dave Barbour Quartet performing "Why Don't You Do Right" in 1950. Not sure whether it is really live or synced. Lots of shots of Barbour playing, regardless.
