God doesn't need to know what time it is.
Value of anything is a most fascinating subject to me.
Eric Clapton hasn't owned this Rolex Daytona for nearly 20 years. It 's probably been in storage since he dumped it and is expected to fetch north of $1.6M?
For that much I'd want his playing ability AND his stereo system.
Yes OP.... I love him very much....His playing improvisation are extraordinary and all musicians around him play more for him than with him....This says a lot about genius....

Pat Martino (RIP) was a great under the radar guitarist and from South Philly! . Was a child prodigy and had to reteach himself after a stroke. When George Benson heard him play in NYC he said he had to leave town because he was much better than him. I wish he had more vinyl available in new releases beyond El Hombre (a great album). Other used title go for stratospheric prices. Maybe he will be like most other great jazz musicians - under appreciated until they pass on and then all of the other great stuff will be reissued on vinyl. |
I discovered immediately listening his music he was a genius but listening the interview (which duration is around 1h37 m. not the 3 hours indicated) with him let no DOUBTS about his experience, musical or spiritual and intelligence and humility which is mind blowing.... It is one of the best musician interview i ever listen to because of his deep understanding of music...

@stuartk - I didn't know about him until he recently passed away and they were playing his music on Sirius. I thought I knew the great jazz guitarists - Wes Montgomery and his disciples (Earl Klugh, George Benson), & Pat Metheny, Lee Ritenour. Not a big fan of John Scofield, but I know he is popular. |
