Standard Deviations - Samba de Orpheus

Live at The Club­house, Den­ver, Col­orado -​ Jan­uary 31, 2010 -​ An up­beat sam­ba with great so­los from ev­ery­one -​ Dan Jones, ped­al steel; Mitch Jervis, gui­tar; Austin Hein, bass; Lar­ry Ziehl, drums.

When most people think of pedal steel guitar, they associate it with country music...or, for the well traveled, the Hawaiian Islands. But in fact, the steel guitar has a long history in more complex forms of music. From the Big Bands of the 40s to the hard-to-find instrumental works of the 60s Nashville masters, steel players have adapted the keening, soaring sound of their instrument to the intricacies of jazz and swing.

Wonderful rendition of this fantastic song! Great balance and wonderful what experts you are on each of your instruments. Your playing is smooth as silk, and a great delight to listen and relax to.

@HandwhistlerBen Thanks. The guys really do play well together. I've since moved from Denver, but they still play together whenever they can get a gig. I love listening to them as well.
