Never said they were Avant-garde.

Well, thankfully there is a place for both. I would say I prefer the FV sets at Birdland to the Emmett's Place sets myself (from the perspective of watching them on video on an iPad; in person might be a very different experience). I've listened to some very good music on both channels.

Aren't we always moaning here about jazz having become an absolute niche music?
By the above I want to say nothing at all against Vignola's night. I try to take my time to watch all episodes if possible and was very sorry that Mike Stern decided to withdraw all his videos from the channel so I missed watching his last gig there in full.

Heck, the last one even had a blues that sounded like one (or should I say that I recognised as one) Frank's jokes get a bit old if you hear them too often but that's what you get with listening to live performances by the same people on such a regular basis.

Yeah I hear ya. I don't mind a few clams but not all clams are created equal. Joe Pass sliding off a note is one thing, but some of the guys at the Birdland guitar night will play some bigger clams that are kinda cringey. Overall I like the show. I check it out from time to time. And overall I like Frank V, I just find him inconsistent (both his tone and his playing). I don't want to bag on the guy so I will leave it at that. He is one of the most well known jazz guitarists in the world, so I think he can take a little criticism just fine. He's got books out, methods, an entire camp business, and this Birdland thing. He's quite good at business and he is spreading the word of jazz so I support him.

People tell me I have exceptionally good ears and listening to Vignola's Night videos I never came across something that hurt those things attached to my head left and right of my brain.
