Out of curiosity why was that? It’s in the music, no? Donna Lee always being the first example to jump to mind.

Is minor "home" (Im) dorian, melodic, neither?

Don’t forget Gene Edwards, who played a few tracks on that album. I was never able to learn much about him, but he played on several Gerald Wilson albums as well as for Holmes. I don’t know what he...

The dilemma of Fender guitars

For Wes-type of sound I think a humbucker guitar is the easiest way to go. Since I bougth my Ibanez AF55 - the cheapest hollowbody in their catalogue - I am a fan: they play well, sound good and...
