Such rhythmical intensity, improvisation played with such conviction. Sylvain Luc, you are fast becoming on my list of all time great guitarists...no,make that all time great musicians because you have crossed the boundaries of conventional guitar technique. You play music from the heart...such an open channel to the muse that is music. Thank You.

Brill ! jn :-)

Usually, jazz guitarists improvise with 1 or 2 strings, Sylvain does it with ALL 6! He can play guitar with the instensity of a keyboardist and the rythm of a drummer.

The autumn Leaves :D

and your comment about the piano is very accurate !

I agree. I may not know as much as you do but I listen to them all (Stern, Scofield, Martino,...) and I have never heard anything like this! Good for us!

he is a pure magic...unbelievably great on the guitar....thank u Jesus for Sylvain :)

Agreed. I discovered Sylvain Luc 2007 through his continuous collaborations with Bireli. One particular concert was live in Marciac. In terms of guitar duets, the gig completely blew my mind! I'd hate to admit to anyone new sounding the gong that signals a new status quo for solo guitar. Scofield's signature is phrasing and angular impro; Frisell, under-statement; Metheny's compositions and innovations. These legacies will be theirs. Sylvain's Piccasso reincarnate.

@idletask I like what you say about his improvisational method, that is spot on IMO, I don't know La Foule, but i am definitely hearing Autumn Leaves, which is also a French Tune, maybe they are the same, I don't know.
I am just off to practice.
The audience reaction to this playing is just pathetic. He's playing guitar like it was a piano and it is so difficult to do on this instrument.
He's stretched his technique knowledge and musicality beyond anything I have seen on the guitar before. You can tell it's improvised yet it has so much structure, so rhythmically tight and musical logic. Putting all these elements together on the guitar is so hard even for the best.
Listen to Scofield, Metheny or Frisell, none play solo like this.
