  • Jazz separates the men from the boys PERIOD!!! On ALL instruments!!! DON'T LIKE IT!!!!! F-OFF!

  • Brilliant!.....this is the first time I've ever hear him play, and he certainly leaves nothing else to be desired!.. he's right up there with all of the very best!...

  • @minor7b5 why insult another great guiatrist in order to compliment one that you prefer. This is what is wrong with guitar players of the amateur variety.

  • @hooperxxx why is it so important to call someone the best. That is ridiculous. There are many mant great guitarists out there alive. Howard is just one of many who have an A game.

  • wow!! love that playing!. i am 35, i love jazz.. i feel alone, all the peole i kno did not like jazz and i just dont kno why?? i work very hard to learn it. this guy sound so cool, thank s for posting it, i love that jazz vocabulary. he sound s a bit like Louis Stewart. Bravo! one of the best 4 sure.

  • This man is probably one of the TOP 5 players in the country... If I tried for another 10 years, I could not even come close !

  • @Queenoftheworldisme Pat Martino was actually the jazz guitarist who underwent surgery for a brain aneurysm...not that that should diminish anything from Howard Alden, who is a beautiful player.

  • Great playing, Howard is definitely an awesome player. Always a pleasure to listen and to see him

  • Why take a beautiful ballad like this and rev it up? Fred Astaire and Joan Leslie's rendition the best.

  • He is one of the best guitarist alive today. He is no copy cat. He is very creative and his lines are beautiful. It is never enough to watch him play. I may be wrong, but he had to have brain surgery, but he recovered from it. That is truly amazing if it was true. I am sure it took much effort. Thank you very much for posting it!
