2 hours of DG in a straight-ahead quartet setting, shredding on an ES-175.

Thanks for the link.
-
Thanx for the link!
I never knew he was so Wes influenced- his octave soloing was superb!
I liked when he threw those rockabilly licks into bop tunes.
-
Thank God he can play because that tone at around the 4min mark ... :P

SamBooka is right about that tone though. It gets a little thin around 4:00.

Never doubted he could do that. That said, I'd much rather hear him be Danny Gatton.

I like very much playing of Chris Battistone on trumpet.

I always thought this version was the best thing he got on record.....

Don't really know much about him, but wow. Strong, strong player.

cool, and while he's way versatile, Danny's real strength is...

Put Jimmy Bryant, Les Paul, Roy Buchanan and Earl Scruggs in a blender and you might get Danny Gatton. If you haven't heard Jimmy Bryant:

Always enjoy a dose of Danny Gatton.

Whatever bag you want to put Danny in, one thing stands out for me and that is
the sheer speed of his thought process.
While it's not possible to "know" the thoughts of another person........ playing music,
especially when it is largely improvised, it does become possible to observe the
movement from one idea to the next.
I have spent a lot of time watching Danny's performances and what blows me away is his
mental acuity.
....Of course he had the hands well trained and could jump from one approach to another at a fantastic rate.
One of a kind.
