Location: Chicago | I'm afraid this was filmed in the Adamo-schizophrenia ward of the Taylor-Martin Geriatric Infirmary. Apparently the poor chap has 47 personalities and TWO guitars for each. What you are seeing is actually 47 guitarists playing 94 guitars simultaneously. In his head, of coure. You should SEE the Tab for this one. There IS, of course, footage of Mr. Russell (x 47) at the CH Night at GC but that was LAST year. |

Location: Chicago | If honest, I'd have to agree: I like a fair amount of "out" jazz, but these guys (even the great DB) don't offer ONE thing to hang onto: a line, a rhythm, a groove, a chord, a tonality, a pattern. How in the name of Horus do they even choose a guitar? Or tune it?
"No, gotta do it over, I was out of TUNE" :rolleyes: |

I sincerely wish I knew my way around the fretboard like he does... He obviously knows what he is doing.
But I would DEFINITELY be playing a different tune! |

Location: Chicago | Yeah, that's what's strange: I can really enjoy the "outside" blowing of Charles Gayle (sax) or Coltrane (a favorite is "Brazilia"); but this playing really challenges me to find something, ANYTHING to grab and groove on. Take 'Trane: he has force, technique wild "modulations" and sheer power. There is a pulse, chords, lines, riffs, phrases.
These guys, on the other hand, seem to be playing in a way to AVOID music. Maybe that's the point? |
