Sandy Bull - Blend Part One

The first half of Bull's remarkable 20 minute long guitar improvisation. One of my favourite tracks ever recorded, this was the first track on Bull's 1963 debut record "Fantasias for Guitar and Banjo." Bull's collaboration with drummer Billy Higgins is one of the most memorable works for the guitar that I've ever heard.

This is really awesome music. But about name of this: Blend mean that is blend of rhytms, melodies,... or this mean that this song is medley from several his songs. I dont know. Someone know what is right?

Great upload, thanks! Fantasias and Inventions are two of the most stunning albums I've ever heard, this track stands out particularly (also 'little maggie' on solo banjo, which I can't seem to find anywhere online)...so far ahead of their time...would be cool to see some live footage from one of his shows, if any exists.

I love

Billy Higgins' drumming. He changes rhythms effortlessly.
