Calvin Keys - LIVE

A really good Bay Area player! Unknown by many jazz guitar fans, but well known by the players.

I hired him years ago to perform at a party for my wife.

Sweet!

I met Calvin Keys at the former Blue Note Guitar shop in Berkeley, CA many years ago. He was having some work done on that very Heritage Golden Eagle used in the above video. Very nice man with an elegant playing style.

Calvin is the inspiration for a great Metheny Blues tune.

That's David Rokeach on drums. World class player. Worked, extensively, I believe, with Ray Charles, among many others. He's also the drummer on Get Me Joe Beck, a great guitar trio recording.

A truly great player who never got his due. His phrasing and block chord style are as good as anybody.
