Carl Kress - Sutton Mutton

[RootsinBrooklyn]

Michele,

Very nicely done. A splendid rendition. Beautiful tone, time, phrasing.

Did you have to transcribe this by ear? It appears you are using standard tuning.

Did Kress's unorthodox tuning pose any particular difficulties?

Another hit of yours!

Nice version especially considering Kress used a somewhat unorthodox tuning. Those Kress/Mcdonough duets were true classics.

I own the Gibson guitar that Carl Kress likely recorded this song with. I am watching your video carefully to learn this song properly and I will be the first to play this song on Kress's very guitar in 70 years! Thank you!

Thanks for keeping this amazing classic jazz alive.

Very nice. Sounds like Carl Kress himself.
