Mike Moreno Live in Paris - "All The Things You Are" solo

[reynaldina]

Great guitarist, nice sounding phrasing and techniques.

Kreisberg, Rosenwinkel and Moreno are guitarist that have a great attention for their tone.

Everyone is influenced by someone or inspired, then he makes his own interpretations and his own lines, it's jazz, it's always been like that since the bebop....

It's this peculiar period of jazz, enjoy it... there's a lot of Parker, Coltrane influences everywhere: so what?

[FuchsFran]

Tremendo



[GreyJazz90]

If you guys actually knew the tune as well as Mike then you would be able to hear the harmony he is implying. And obviously you haven't listened to him enough if you think he is a kurt clone.

[handdancin]

what the fuck are all these comments saying? how can you not dig the fuck out of this guy?

[zinnington]

I do like this but despite the chops something is missing

[yoshy321]

@zinnington Indeed its far to preconceived.. he has got everything but .....

[vegetasrevenge]

What song is this?

[thechallengeresponse]

Excellent!

[wyrdstone85]

Nive, very nice, but definitely The Man Who Would Be Kurt.....

[jazzbum2002]

@wyrdstone85 I think Mike has really come into his own in the past few years. I also don't feel his lines are as similar to Kurt's as so many people make them out to be (in my opinion Kurt has a very distinct phrasing that not a single other guitarist has totally copped, the way he deals with the beat is totally unique). His tone may be similar but so is Kreisberg's. I hear a lot of Raney in there personally. 

[Bhab667]

It be nice if he was playing with a piano player or compin a little bit. But whatever its his deal and it sounds great!

( its also probally a little difficult to hear the bass in this recording)

Mike stern dosent use chords that often in his solos either

[JoeHeiderGuitar]

@Bhab667 I would disagree about mike stern not using chords much in his solos. In my opinion he uses them quite a bit. especially that pedal note on the top trick.

[jezzerie]

he reminds me a lot of adam rogers, anyway great musicican

[Bhab667]

@jezzerie Totally

[earthchild100]

yeeahh!!

[handdancin]

really nice, its like if allen iverson played basketball on a fretboard

[GuitarCriti01]

wtf

[barimando]

A good musician doesnt necessarily need to play chords for the harmony to be stated. If you listen to the lines he is playing you can hear the implied harmonic ideas.

[rodite]

Modern jazz guitar playing at it's best. Take an idea and run it down. This is why guitar players all want to play drums.

[Eorthecuz]

the chord thing is not what he's going for. . . I think if that's what he was hearing it would be reflected in his playing.. . .

[BlingMasterFunk]

Well for piano player's, they generally don't like to have anyone comping their changes behind them so that they may lead the progression where THEY want it to go in suite with their solo. That's not too hard to do where they have two hands at their disposal, but for guitar player's, you can imagine how had it is to use both hands interdependently... But i know what you mean. Even interchanging melody and chords are great contrast in a solo. I have nothing bad to say. Kudos Mike.

[monetarydemise]

What a freak of nature. It would be even more ridiculous if mike played some bad ass chords in his solo as if he was simulating a piano for his guitar. For instance, sort of what hes doing at the end of his solo but at the same time as he rips. Either way, that dude is bad ass.

[futboler454]

Check out some Joe Pass

[jazzguitarmarc]

Oh thanks dude didnt know about him...
