Nice post, tablejockey. When I was in college I roomed with a jazz quitarist whose two quitar idols were Howard Roberts (discussed here many moons ago) and Royce Campbell. I remember Campbell’s "The Art Of Chord Solo Guitar" playing incessantly in our dorm room. Royce Campbell is an excellent player who has had a very successful career in the studios and as touring guitatrist for major acts and has remained, as you say, "under the radar" for a lot of jazz fans. Your description of his style is spot on: Barney Kessel meets Wes Montgomery; I would add Joe Pass to the mix of influences. Not surprisingly he recorded a Wes Montgomery "tribute" album. What may be surprising to many listeners is that they have probably heard his playing many times without realizing it. As a longtime member of Henry Mancini’s orchestra he recorded much of the popular Pink Panther music including the famous theme. Gorgeous Julie London "Laura"; thanks for that. Coincidentally (?) its Barney Kessel on guitar on the beautiful minimalist arrangement of this Johnny Mercer classic. The opposite of minimalist I love this arrangement of the tune by the great Nelson Riddle for another favorite rendition of the tune: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TMUsrY-ED0A |
I stumble on this piece of gold, just now. There was one short clip on ytube, but never saw this one. It is a live show with Kenny Burrell, Grant Green and Barney Kessell, all together!? and it lasts more than half an hour https://youtu.be/_4jMQNJFPO4 Orpheus, thanks for suggestion, that clip was just a little bit 'soft' for my taste. About that other album, I honestly dont know, I am away from home this summer, will check it when I come back. Dave, if this is not too little, too late, this device could be a life saver. https://youtu.be/-vd3I5HSz4s |
Alex, I couldn't find what I was looking for, and now that you mention it, what I submitted was a little soft for me to. "Jazz on The Rocks" is no longer available, (the one you submitted) and I'm almost certain you have the album I was looking for in your collection. To put you in the same game we played before, I'm going to submit something for you exclusively. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLk5BHJih8g&list=PL1va9EK7MSUMBY8uo4okV7rp6SWoEpMe0 |
