Mike Moreno and Ed Cherry

[Jonah]

It was a great gig... I admire Mike but Ed Cherry is really fantastic... I still love that old school drive which still sounds quite modern..

I also noticed kind of interesting ability of Mike - when he plays with some players with very distinctive style he changes his playing a bit too to fit their style better...

And it is is great what Mikes does with streams and deserves to be supported.

PS
Mike uses some shimmering chord sounds on ballads like Body and Soul - who knows where it comes from? Some synth pedal?

That sounds like some kind of tremolo effect to me.

Yeah I sent some Paypal cash over for this stream. Ed's tone and touch throughout were just amazing.

Ed’s comping is off the chain

Ed’s comping is off the chain

He sounds loose and 'in the pocket' simultaneously ... at some points he is just like a kid who sits in the street strumming his guitar... but at the same time so sophisticated and tasty..

To me sounds much like developing Benson approach actually

And here's their conversation after the set.

Reverb, tremolo and some super fast rocking on a volume pedal.

Sat in the second row at Small's in front of Ed Cherry. I can't recall whose gig. I could hear what he heard, since I was close enough to reach out and touch his guitar, and I could see exactly what he was doing. As I recall it, it was all time feel. He wasn't tearing up his ligaments with stretchy chords or anything like that. It was just perfect harmony and perfect timing. Great player.

I think my two most favourite styles of comping in small duo set are Ed's and Pete's.

...Then go Bill Frisell and John Stowell...
They are very different - not so much strumming energy and rawness - more delicate nuances - but they swing so subtly.
