Eric Clapton is a multi-millionaire, yet you could stop a thousand people in the street before you found someone who has heard of RT. The world is not a fair place! Genius!

Just enjoy each musician for who they are....
-
I love it!!
-
why does this always descend into "best" and "better" can't each thing just be respected for what it is. If you you don't like something move on. Otherwise enjoy.
-
that ending, with the harmonizing of the string noise as it's hammered on with the plucked note is genius. I never thought of doing that. Ridiculous stuff here.
-
jazz is such an advanced language...wow

Puta que pariu, q dominio do instrumento! Muito louco!

@mside243 Eric is probably the most popular guitarist in the world. But I think in music there can be a wide gulf between the best and the most popular.
-
@Pur11zz... you mean Eric Clapton isn't the best guitarist ever to live? :-P
-
@levmatta "the blues is more important than jazz" Really? No offense to EC but he does not even come close to Towner, McLaughlin as far as technique and feel.
-
@Pur11zz And so is Eric Clapton. The type of music that he did, when he did it. BB King says he would be nothing without the british respecting the blues. And the blues is more important than Jazz itself. Eric has a defects also, but he is not MTV Unpluged. He is a blues man.

This is a wonderful alternative to the dawn of time stylings of George VanEpps and Joe Pass.

Most of Towner's stuff is of the Bill Evans variety when it comes to playing famous jazz pieces. Evans himself IMO was just outright terrific in terms of arrangement. That said, Towner has gone beyond Evans in terms of the range of stuff he plays.
If you liked this one, you should hear his version on "Solo Live," which is a bit better IMO. It's a great album to own in general.
