Autumn Leaves Pt1 - Farlow Abercrombie Carlton Coryell

when i first read the comments for this video, i thought people were just being overcritical, which is common on youtube. but i after i listened to video, i have to admit...the two larry's have very strange solos. they don't really play through the changes at all. maybe they were trying to be different, but neither of their solos were particularly jazz-like. and tal farlow sounds past his prime here.

Wilton theater(or hotel?) either 1986 or '87, originally released on VHS,I bought this (and 2 other great ones) back in '95, it's great to listen to 5 guys w/ distinct musical personalities. Notice how Patitucci kinda makes a face as if he's not exactly diggin' Coryell's articulation @ 4:10-13,and then again at the repeated motive @ 4:58-59

I WANT THE DVD!!!!!!!!

I don't beileve this is out on DVD yet. This is from my lazerdisc.

Dude, Tal was pretty old here. Even still, he was a hundred times better than the others, and when he was younger, he would have made all those other guitarists on the stage look like fools. If I can play at all when I'm as old as Tal was here I'll be happy

I use to think that way but then someone told me how Segovia was wheeled to the stage in some of his late shows and still played his heart out and was in top form...not sure the same can be said for Tal Farlow, but regardless he's like the JD Salinger of Jazz.

The only solo that I actually liked other than Tal Farlow's was John Scofield's. The other solo's seemed to be more of a display of technical exercises, and Coryell's solo just was absolutely shite.

is john scofield the one playing in a sort of stratocaster guitar? I can't seem to find any pics of him with hair on the net so I can't be sure :p

nevermind, i just found out i was talking about carlton..

maybe is not the best solo of abercrombie, but how u can play a good solo after u hear the worse Autumn Leaves solo ever( yes Coryell`s solo).
