John Basile - John Abercrombie -Beautiful Love

[TheBobPaws]

When you're this good it's no longer jazz ... it's just beautiful music.

John Abercrombie is def my fav guitar player with Mick Goodrick.

My fav horizontal players so to speak.

Thanks for sharing.

@gobopollo - i think u just might mean vertical.....as in still alive?

[gobopollo]

@cjenkinsjazz no pal, it was a technical consideration on their use of the instrument. Thank God they are both still perfectly alive :) Vertical guitarists would be musicians such as Joe Pass or Jim Hall, using more vertical boxes.

Abercrombie and Goodrick have a very modern horizontal approach on the keyboard and they were the very first. Then Metheney and others learned their vocal style.

@cjenkinsjazz  You can check this example of Abercrombie's horizontal play:

Sick tone

madre mia. fantastic !

Maybe it's just a flaw of the record but Abercrombie's guitar sounds so dry.

[JazzmanJibilla]

Great playing, nice take on the tune. I suppose it was necessary to key them 'Jazz Guitarist' just on the off chance somebody thought this was heavy metal.

Nothing is more beautiful than a guitar, save perhaps two.

Interesting interplay

i'd never thought i'd say this, as i've always been a huge fan of abercrombie's sound and playing, but on this, i actually like the playing and sound of mr. basile better. who'd a thunk :-)
