'Fox Trot" - that's funny. "Don't let anyone tell you you can't dance to this music, you can! So go ahead and buy the record!"
A lap-steel squareneck tricone is a bit of a different beast from a roundneck, even before one takes into account the musical-stylistic-textural differences on display in Muller's playing (which...
I think Coleman Hawkins established it quite nicely and then moved to improv quickly since a side is only a few minutes. I don't need to hear all of the head perfectly as the composer intended, but...
It was funny, Wayne's bass player was playing guitar in his place with the drummer, he asked me if I wanted to sit in, I said no. :smile-new: Thanks but those hours would not have worked, and...
