"Basie's Blues" - Barney Kessel, One of the Greatest

Barney Kessel got started in the forties and my ol' Dad suggested him a few times but I was too thick to absorb it.  The future is rock, man (larfs).




I find quite a bit of shredding to be almost entirely amelodic and anything without a melody is never going to swing.


It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing!



Ed:  are you seriously getting nostalgic for music from before you were born?

Hey, check it.  I'll take it any old time.

Ed:  you really fucked this up with your ol' Dad, didn't you?

Sure did.  That living room with those quadraphonic speakers could have been so seriously swinging'.

Ed:  so this is some multi-generational nostalgia?

Fair enough (larfs).
