Mundell Lowe. Darn That Dream

[vinnothelizard]

i saw this guy 20 yrs. ago and i spoke to him after the gig!! i said to him that i noticed his left hand comes so far away from the strings!!! and he said to me..... its getting them down on time that matters!!!! and watch him and u will see wat i mean!! however ... martin taylor is the daddy!!!!

[MrPsorci]

He is coming to my school in a week. We are playing a chart that he wrote for us. So excited to play with him

@MrPsorci

There are so few of the Greats still around and it is wonderful that Mundell is still playing and imparting knowledge to young people. I am sure you will have a great day and if you get a chance to talk to him please say a big hello from Ireland.

wonderful showcase for a master guitarist, Mundell Lowe.

[nancydrew5]

I liked his tasteful accompanying to Sarah Vaughan and became a fan of his along with Barney Kessel.

Youtube comments are, like, the apex of human expression.

[jamboliboli]

These old guys surely know how to play these tunes. Modes are out!

Grande Chitarrista Mondiale con una spiccata personalità elevatissima. Il tocco è supremo , le frasi logiche , la fantasia , gli accordi , il fraseggio ne fanno veramente un musicista grandioso con ottima dinamica. Grande Mundell Lowe.

[MrBobrguitar]

terrific playing! I hope that I am not too bold by leaving a response! thx

I was kidding about the irish getting butthurt over something that silly. Although they do seem to fight alot. Why is that?

[deangelico]

I suppose because there are always some people who like to live up to their reputation

[4578a]

He said Dubland. I wonder if the irish got butthurt over that.

[deangelico]

I think we Irish are a little more thick skinned than to get upset by what was obviously Mundell saying Dublin an thinking Ireland.certainly the audience enjoyed him being in both places.

[joebandana]

Louis Stewart is amazing just like Mundell Lowe. Modern jazz guitar virtuoso Kurt Rosenwinkel does an absolutely incredible version of this song on his album intuit, it's well worth checking out!!

[edcerc]

i really enjoyed this. I like how his phrasing its not stiff like johnny smith can sometimes be. Its very tastefull and harmonically conscious.

[deangelico]

Thank you for the comment, Mundell has always been an inspired interpreter of tunes and one of my favourites. I have also posted a duo version with Mundell and Louis Stewart which you might like to check out, as it offers a completely different feel to the tune.

[daffer53]

some of his best,yes,i said BEST playing is on a carmen mcrae album named 'bittersweet'.which i think is one of her best efforts. all 'juke box' ballads.3-4 minutes w/ my favorite ballad ever, spring can really hang you up the most...hard to find,but buy it . it's from 1963-64. i have the vinyl,and found a jap cd for $39. i tell you i'd have paid double. it is that good. and, she plays piano on some of the cuts!!

[deangelico]

Thank's for the comment and also the info, will check it out. I don't have much by Carmen but one of the CD's I have has my all-time favourite Guitarist Billy Bean on one track

[Banakaal]

He makes that cheap (Comparatively) copy sound sweet enough... Nice, sensitive improvisation... Nothing too flashy, but meaningful! Grand player. Thanks for this.. I'm lucky to have the full video tape. Must get it converted to DVD!

[thelonious1234]

that's an Ibanez "lawsuit" 175. it's an excellent ply-top. and the playing is grand indeed.

[loren1283]

Wow so nice.

[Arikisei]

god bless mr.lowe., mr.van eps

[thebex1]

I got to hear Mr Lowe in person a few years ago. One of the most under-rated guitarist of all time. He was also very nice, and I got his autograph.

[ollie831234]

great video. he is an amazing guitarist. i know him personally. i will actually see him alot this coming week in florence, AL. its the W.C. Handy festival and he is actually playing a show with my grandfather thursday night.

[deangelico]

Hi Ollie, Who is your Grandfather?. thank you for your comment.I certainly agree with you,one of the alltime greats,Please pass on best wishes from John and Louis in Dublin if you get to talk to him. enjoy the Gig

[ollie831234]

[eightstring]

Class...beautiful playing from froma true master. Thanks for posting

[deangelico]

You are welcome.thank you for checking the clip out

[orlandoCF1]

Pure class & taste. It couldnt get much better.

[jazzclarinet2006]

Cool stuff. I haven't been able to hear much of Lowe aside from an album I have of him playing with Benny Goodman but I love every bit of it!

[twodogs09]

My dad recorded this broadcast from the TV when I was 11 years old and I'd just been given my first guitar. Nearly twenty years later, I'm a professional musician and I've been immersed in jazz ever since. Forgive the sentimentality, but this music really did change my life and it's so great to hear it again, so thank you so much for posting!

[deangelico]

Great to hear that it inspired you to become involved in the music at such an early age.I think Music of this level is timeless and reaches people of all ages. I wish you great things in your Career

[dazzhiggins]
