  • I met George Van Eps at Steamers Jazz club in Fullerton Ca. He was playing there and I got to sit with him and Ron Echete,and Terrance Love, the owner, on there brake. He was so amazing and the stories he knew. George Gershwin was his fathers accompanist. He learned piano from the young Gershwin and music theory and harmony. There is more to the story but it was such an honor to sit with this amazing giant in guitar. Two weeks later George died from Pneumonia. .

  • No one can touch what George van Eps accomplished as an innovator and virtuoso of the jazz guitar. This is simply astounding.

  • Title is Lap Piano

  • we need transcriptions of his work, amazing artist!

  • @Threepwoodist Good for you. The inability of most people to form a coherent, logical, properly spelled and punctuated sentence drives me batshit.

  • что за придурок поставил дислайк?

  • What's the name of the tune? Anyone know?

  • @steveey251 No it didn't offend me, it annoyed me. You have a right to free speech, and you can't even write properly, which means you can't talk properly. Yes I am the grammar police, and you have been charged with breach of the peace ha.

  • @Threepwoodist So my "ineptness" to write a proper sentence offended you in some way? and you felt it necessary to let me know of this? There's such a thing as the expression "So good it's not even funny". I don't understand what your problem is, grammar police I guess...

  • @steveey251 I was attacking your ineptness to actually write a proper sentence.  Why and when would it ever be funny, for George Van Eps' playing to be amazing?

  • @Threepwoodist Whoa there, hostile much?

  • @steveey251 It was never funny, stop acting like a retard.
