  • Learn to play dorian and mixolydian first. Then you'll realize it STILL sounds nothing like jazz, thats when you learn to use enclosures and chromaticism. Then you'll sound like a rock player trying to sound like he knows jazz. Learn how to swing eighth notes, and THEN you'll finally START to sound like you understand.

  • that is no where near smooth jazz. this swings and doesn't suck

see all

  • Yah! I like the way these guys play jazz.

  • Awesome!!!!!!

  • Just FYI, Naptown Blues was originally done by Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell in the early 30s. Wes' version is way different and he pretty much made it his

  • Bobby Broom is the only "modern" guitar player i can mention in the same breath as Grant Green, George Benson and Wes Montgomery. a lot of other players these days are way to sterile and unswinging for my taste

  • GOT TO love Bobby Broom. Nice "While My Lady Sleeps" quote there.

  • brings his own sound to the instrument. I love how he lags behind the beat at times.

  • The CD Album is out! You can check it out on my channel.

  • @BeatBay correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't this in song in 4/4? and since when does time signature judge what is boring?

  • real jazz

  • WOWWWW ! FANTASTIC BAND !
