Passing by, thought I'd say 'Hi!'

After the terribly much too long winter we have sun today. Almost all snow is gone.

Summer on its way.

Nice.

Hope you're ok and keeping bop on the road!

Peace

Likewise, Ed Baran! Jimmy will always be one of my fav players and a great inspiration. Even if I'm currently investigating the 'Cool' side of jazz Bop is and will ever be the 'coolest' style in jazz. Hope you're not totally snowed in. We've got loads of the white stuff, and it's damn cold, between 15 and 20 centigrades below the luring zero...Actually I'm planning to begin an epic project today, a nice recording inspired by a co operation between Ulf Wakenius and Ray Brown trio I found a nice recording of yesterday. Wow, blues & bop fill my shoes like rain fills a pair of very cheap shoes from south east asia with paper soles... May your new year be prosperous and jazz always dance the frets of thy guitar my friend! Peace and snow from a sweden with a winter unheard of during the recent years. Skei

Ed, you rascal, very nice rhythm tracks you have there! Those are great for practicing, lead as well as - well, if you download the mp3, enter it into a recording app and silence the guitar channel, which should be easy as it seems to be all in right ear, you (or I) could practice rhythm guitar playing too, so this is very nice. Looking out the window I notice we have more than 10 inches of snow, almost one foot, I believe (some 30 centimetres). Nice. Well, it's that season now, at least I live in an apartment and won't have to shovel it away from my yard... Anyway, have a nice time, and good on you for posting the link, I shall be sure to send it to the pals at jazzgutar.be! Peace and snow. Skei (the just had first coffee for the day one, soon having the next one too one)

Ed, my main jazzer one, hope you've got nice and snowy surroundings where you're at! We sure got cold and lots of snow this year. It's been coming down for some twenty hours now. And it's quite cold too. In a day or two they've promised some 15° centigrades daytime. Can't even start thinking about what that means for nights. Just happy not to be one of those poor guys who sleep under the railway bridge downtown. really. Well, mainly hope you keep hitting those blue notes and spread some jazzy melodies over the world for the new year. And as always; be careful, cholesterol. You know it, I know it, but more importantly - your physician knows all about it. Those midnite ham & cheese sandwiches are lethal. But they are nice. Very much so.

Be cool & remember not to forget why we are around: Jazz.

Peace

Skei - You always manage to cheer us up in the Matrix Family! It snowed last week 21" deep in the Maryland/Washington area and more up north towards the Rhode Island area! It makes for a nice Christmas mood and I always enjoy the first snow fall, too. We are blessed in that we have a decent shelter and good friends like you. I do think of those folks who are homeless often and think how would I cope with that situation. It's rough to think about. I worry that our poor economy and the rising unemployment rate in the U.S. will lead to more homeless and social problems. It seems that good music always pulls us through the hard times and eases the mental stress. We have to be thankful we have good friends like you and the other fine musicians on the Matrix to get us through this trying time. I've been practicing to the backing tracks you posted in an earlier forum to keep busy during the holiday time off from work. You might like this link to this web site for more backing tracks. Stephane is a wonderful guitarist in his own right and he plays rhythm guitar so you can do some "stretching out". Hope you like him! Have Fun, my good friend!

I'm not sure, I usually test drive most of the new guitars they get into the store downtown, I ought to have tested a Taylor, probably have, but just forgot about it. It's true, classical guitars sound great for latin stuff, much of salsa and samba in those nylons... I mostly like classical guitar necks, often because they're wide and very nice in shape. Nylon strings also give such a great tone. I had a nylon stringed classic with cutaway once upon a time, I loved playin' it, can't remember why I sold it. Probably traded it in for some electric axe, cos that was during the R&R days...

Well, Eddie, my good man, time for java once again, and then on to some more metronome stuff. Really makes miracles for once feel for time, that does.

Peace

SKEI -

I love your attitude, man! I admire the way you always keep things REAL and POSITIVE!

I need a person like you to move next door to me so we can jam together... LOL!

Oh, by the way, I just bought a Taylor NS24ce classical guitar and wow - this neck on the Taylor is phenominal! Sounds great for those Latin Charts!

Have you ever tried a Taylor yet?
