Grant Green Lazy Afternoon

@goldtop Where have I've been? Here is another great musician whom I'm not familiar!!! Enjoyed hearing the track. 

I noted an album by Grant Green titled "Street Of Dreams". That is a great jazz standard written by the great Victor Young. 

I saw Frank sing it in the mid 1960's. 

My favorite Sinatra song was written by Bert Kaempfert with words by Carl Sigman and Herbert Renbein. 

Movie clips of Robert Taylor and Vivian Leigh. 

Over The World We Knew. 

@robertdee I just recently have delved into studying more jazz and Grant Green is one of the guys all the youtube jazz guys talk about so I found that gem this morning.

Here's another great Grant Green track...Cool Blues

I offered this up on the sax site when they were asking for some uplifting music. Written in jazz' earliest times and still sounding like it was wrote yesterday especially when these girls from the Tuba Skinny circles are laying it on down. That's Dizzy on washboard.

@goldtop Real nice music man. So clean and tight. All are pros. 

Grant like many jazz players doesn't seem to put vibrato on any notes. I like to hear the guitar played straight without bending and vibrato. Just the notes as they appear on the fret board much like the keys on a piano. 

I saw Eric Clapton on PBS discussing some of his favorite guitarist and when talking about T Bone Walker, Clapton said Walker always stopped short when playing a lead part and played it straight without putting vibrato on any of his notes. 

But it's very common I think in jazz. George Benson is probably one and I think Larry Carlton is light on any vibrato. 

@robertdee Most of the Jazz players and T-Bone used heavy gauge flat wound strings with a wound 3rd G string...Not easy to bend and the thing about jazz is longer lines not really bending or long sustaining notes like modern Blues and Rock use. T-Bone was really more of a Jazz/blues player...longer lines...less bends...etc

@tenorsfan I saw Tuba Skinny a few summers ago in Greensboro, NC. These young musicians in New Orleans often play for tips on the street and are heavily influenced by the old Dixie Jazz players of the past. 

In the 40's and 50's in New Orleans players such as Pete Fountain and Al Hurt were very popular and The Dukes of Dixieland. 

Also very famous and in this 1957 film are Jack Teagarden on Trombone, Bobby Hackett on Trumpet, Peanuts on clarinet, Cozy Cole on drums etc. 

@goldtop Yes I see. I did find a couple of videos where T Bone Walker did add a touch of vibrato on a note or two and slid his fingers back and forth on about three frets to present a vibrato type effect. 

Thanks for the info. 

"While we are playing that blues thing let's go ahead and play this Bobby Bland song. Actually it's a T. Bone Walker song"

Oh I forgot to present a message from the sponsor of Sunday Morning Jazz.
