Best Swing Guitar Music for Relaxation & Jazz Lovers - Perfect for Coffee Shops, Dinner Parties & Study Sessions

After the greats from the 30s , the 40s , Robillard is carried and introduced to carry the torch of great Guitarists .Superb .Vic PerroniThe reviewer who put down Robillard's playing on this has got to have his head up his you know what! Duke Robillard really demonstrates his swing chops on this one - Duke is a master of many styles including blues in the style of the likes of T-Bone Walker, Albert Collins, Magic Sam, you name it - and jazz in the style of Charlie Christian - He has a very hard hitting swinging style and he comes up with interesting musical ideas in each of his solos. Herb, of course, is a terrefic soft-spoken jazz guitarist. Like Jim Hall he always has subtle tricks up his sleeve. This is by no means a perfect cd - but my rage at the other review has pushed it from a 4 to a 5. It is a fun listen!This is one of the greatest swing albums of all time. I'm not exactly sure who played what parts (someone said that the channel credits were reversed), but Ellis and Robillard both sound great. They seem to have a bottomless well of creative and melodic swing phrases that they can throw around at will. This album will put you in a good mood quick. Make sure to check out the sequel album too - it's just as good.I can't pick up my own guitar without trying to play some of the lines Duke puts together on these numbers! He really smokes on "Easin' In". Unlike what some others may say, I think his swing chops are awreet and that the major problem here is that Herb Ellis is a little stale and staccato, but that's only compared with the Herb of yesteryear. This album is a fine excursion into this genre of jazz/blues and will be appreciated by more than just a purist jazz or blues oriented audience. Buy it and enjoy!This is a nice recording of swing and blues style guitar. Lots of fun to listen to -- like sitting in on a friendly jam session. Duke Robillard really shines on "Avalon" and the bluesier numbers and Herb Ellis sounds like he's having fun throughout. Recommended for swing fans or those new to jazz guitar.You can't like electric guitar and not love this CD. It's smooth, jazzy, and bluesy all at the same time. If you liked the music in the film "Bull Durham" you'll be in heaven.Two great guitaists revisit the style of the 1940s: some old numbers plus originals by Duke Robillard and the band.Je l'ai acheté pour Robillard que j'aime bien et surtout pour son association avec Herb Ellis. Ce dernier n'est malheureusement pas au niveau de certaines de ses "conversations" avec Oscar Peterson. Disque sympathique mais loin du "pied" éprouvé avec ses plus célèbres duos avec le grand Oscar !素晴らしいギターの共演。フルアコの音色を楽しめます。曲によってはアコギと思われる音色も。録音も良くて、週末のウィスキーのお供に最高です。出来れば、曲ごとの使用ギターも載せて欲しかった。買い逃さなくて良かった。
