What a hot rendition. Mr. Ponder deserves to record this in a studio setting! It's a cryin' shame a cat this talented is resigned to playin a cafe setting before a crowd that's unappreciative of his craft and the beautiful music he makes.
... a problem at ANY venue, but I have seen some miraculously silent audiences at places like Club Cafe, where everyone was respectful of the band and you could hear a pin drop. Precious moments! :)
I have the privilage of studying with Mr Ponder every week. He is a brilliant musician as well as a great person. His music needs to be embraced. It is a direct link to REAL Jazz music, soulful and swings like crazy!!!!
I remember Jimmy putting that guitar in my hand at Sparky J's and telling me to play! He had just electrified me with the soulfullness of his playing. Imagine!

Jimmy is a highly skilled musician. This song is Henri Mancini's "Dreamsville". He plays like Wes but is himself.
