Two of the greatest living guitarists, Laurence Juber and Tommy Emmanuel play Django Reinhardt
A couple of guitar players jamming on tunes they love
I cannot believe I have not seen this before
The Jazz trio I have been playing in the past couple of years has been thinking of doing some of Django Reinhardt tunes. And then I find THIS.
The same tunes we have been working on, casually thrown off by, arguably, the two greatest living acoustic guitarists currently gigging around the world.
Clearly we have our work cut out for us before we appear on the same stage as Laurence Juber at Martinfest 2016, in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, where they make the Martin guitars LJ and we all play.
Geeking Out
What a joy it is to see two of the historic greats behind the scenes, and basically two guys jamming on tunes by a guitar player they admire and aspire toward.
As I try to say to every guitar player who ever acts sheepish around me: There isn’t a guitar player alive who doesn’t hear some other guitarist out there who makes them say, “How does he DO that?!”
But these guys are out of the stratosphere when it comes to technique, tempo, speed, and all-around chops. Just a delight to be that smart phone fly one the wall.
Simply amazing, thanks again for continuing a GREAT blog – it looked like they both told their wives that they would be home by 3, it was already 3:30 and yet each just HAD to play another, and another, and another….
