Like Sonny I dont much care for jazz guitar players, but Blind Willie Johnson - oh Yes! John Fahey told a story that some friend played him a Blind Willie Johnson record and he thought it was the worst shit he ever heard. Shortly afterwards, he heard Johnson for the 2nd time and broke down in tears at the expressive power of his music.
For Oscar Moore's solo on the Nat Cole Xmas song, I count 4 bars rather than 8 - surely this must be a chilhood memory of Sonny's, this playing, this music ? Lovely, any which way. 😊
It's a great and funny quote "I like to play along with records, it’s a cheap way to play with very good bands".
And Ascension again: - Ascension just gets better and better the more time passes - a deep pool.
Short yet enjoyable - and with good links to bounce off to too - I enjoyed this.
