oh, im not putting him down as a player at all, i've seen him play before and he's an immense musician! i just thought in this particular video there are harmonic ideas that i prefer in your playing to his.. although maybe it is your comping ;) great vid anyway
great playing.. in my humble opinion i thought dans solo was much more interesting than jacks.. its obviously just my preference, but i liked the pentatonic ideas and the lines seemed to have more rhythmic variety. loved the st thomas quote at the end :) was it jim hall's version? i cant remember.. really enjoyed your playing dan anyway
Hi, Jack Wilkins has been my idol and mentor since I started in Jazz, so I cannot describe what an honor it was to play with him. As much as I like a compliment, there is no way to compare my playing to his - I am not even in his league... if anything, it may be my comping that is not comfortable for him to play over. Check out his new CD at amazon mp3 to hear what he really sound like with top of the line musicians.
but thanks! and, yes, that was the quote from Jim Hall/Ron Carter duo.
Great to hear you together, Dan. Any chance of a reupload with better video conversion? The original looks to be OK but I can hardly make you both out (visually that is - aurally, I can pick you both a mile away!)
Hey Paul, Thanks! I wish I had a better quality video but the darkness inside and light outside make for a deadly combination in terms of filming there. I do have good quality mp3's of most of the gig which I will post separately.
Wonderful, Dan. Thank you for posting this.

Great playing, Dan and Jack! Jack's solos in intervals are wonderful and Dan's phrasing is always fluid and melodic!
Thanks for posting this...

That was incredible. It's such a great thing to see two jazz masters complimenting each other.
