Chapman Stick - Greg Howard - "Guitarresque" Montreal Jazz Festival

I played this Erich Ferstl composition at the 2003 Montreal Jazz Festival. Only one camera, but good sound, and it zooms in partway through. Many thanks to my friends Mitch Polgar and Dan Behrman for recording the show and getting me the gig!

Is this from the really gifted Erich Ferstl, who played Guitar ,piano and percussions, mainly in Munich???

[gregplaysthestick]

@valvetrom Yes, just his theme and the accompanying line. The arrangement is my own. I had a friend who had his record and played it for me in the late 1980's and it stuck in my head. Do you know him?

Greg Howard is the truth! See him live, buy his CDs, etc. He is awesome. Great person, as well.

(Saw him with Manring!)

@valvetrom: How is Erich Ferstl doing? He must be 77 by now. I have several of his haunting movie/TV soundtracks in my mind, but hardly anybody still remembers them.

P.S. Ich spreche auch deutsch.
