Are these books a well kept secret?

I’m so excited about this! I keep hoping for another recording of Inchworm. I tracked down a bootleg with Dolphy on bass clarinet and it was way less energetic than other examples of their live work...

New John Coltrane Release

I lurk much more than post, and now the community gets a small tangible benefit. I can’t find the discussion, so feel free to link it if you know which one I’m talking about. A couple of people...

Magma Flat Phosphor Bronze 12-54

Any of you happen to know the guitar player on East St. Louis Toodle-oo (New York, 1987)? Here’s a bandcamp link. The track was new to me until this week.

Drop3, Drop2&3, and Drop2&4 chord voicings

In the big band, the guitar chart requires a few things that aren't so easy. You have to read written-out rhythms, which are on the staff. As you do that, you also have to read chord symbols,...

Phil Woods - Greek Cooking

I have never found this to be true.

Keyboardists, know our pain

GHS Strings

Wow! What a beauty!

1951 Gibson ES-350

Pat Martino used a 12 set, but changed the first string to 15, which made it very close to the second string (17). I tried once using 15 and 19 on the firs two strings, and it was too much - settled...
