Watch in awe Wilson Gomes play a Night in Tunisia by Dizzy Gillespie in 1942 while he was playing with the Earl Hines Band. Wilson's version is amazing as he improvises mastering harmony and time throughout the entire duration of the song

  • Wow! Can I get the notation for this.

    As good as a Joe Pass melody and chord. Why isn't this guy known? Something wrong with the music bussiness.

  • You're mentally retarded.

  • @Judplay I imagine the same way you get to Carnegie hall.

  • I didn't say he was as good of a guitarist as Joe Pass overall. I said this was as good of a melody and chord. He is focusing on bass lines much more than pass and doesn't alter tempo as much so it may not feel as expressive to you. Playing like this you must know the song inside and out as far as both the chords and melody. Sure he's probably not as skilled at playing solo's in bands as per Joe Pass with Dizzy. Yet his chord work is expressive. Gomes is young here.

  • nice!!!!

  • @intervalkid Well, probably because there has been quite some progression taken place since Joe Pass. For instance check out John Stowell or Luc Sylvan. These are today's Joes Passes.

  • he looks like a mixture of young Santana and Lenin :D

    Totally awesome!

  • classic smooth jazz. just as i like it!

  • @willmill43

    Gomes of course!

  • great sound

  • I love it....Dimebag is still better!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

  • Love this sound! How does an experienced guitarist with some jazz background get started playing like this? Nice Summertime interlude at 2:00. Appreciate your advice
