Good grief! Ron is cuttin' a fat hog on this one- one of the best, most intelligent guitar versions I've ever heard of this tune, and the drummer knows samba choro and bahia rhythms- not common even nowadays... bass guy is ultra cool. Bless you for posting!!!
Pure class, Ron is right up there with Joe Pass in my list of six stringers who have had an absolutely inspirational effect on my musical life, THANK YOU RON!!
Eschete is playing bass on the 7-string guitar during the bass solo. If you look closely you can see him useing his thumb to play the bass line while grabbing chords with his fingers. i saw him do this live back in the 80's.
@babinm Ron plays bass lines on his 7-string guitar while Todd (the bassist) has his solos. Todd does the same, he plays chords and a bass line while Ron solos.
This is one of the all-time greats in guitar and music in general. It's a pleasure to able to say something about this legend. I use to listen to him around the Orange County area when I was a kid. What an inspiration. Thank you for the many years of excellent music. Pure taste........John Heussenstamm
Mr. Eschete is so rad.. his turnarounds are the best....

why do I have difficulty thinking you are the guitarist recording with Gene Harris but you don't sound like him here/

Ron was indeed the guitarist in the Gene Harris quarter.

Hey John,
You got that right. Ronne is truly one of the greats. I stole a lot of stuff from him.
P.S.
You're not so bad yourself.
