Very sad to hear about Russell Malone. His solo stuff is great but he was also outstanding for vocal accompaniment - filling out the space without stepping on the singer’s toes. RIP.
Sounds great Jimmy! So sorry to hear about Russell. Here in East TN, I saw him several years back when he was playing with Diana Krall, and got to meet him a couple years back when he was doing a set for a local PBS show. He was very gracious after the show and let me speak with him a few minutes. Was a great player.
Gorgeous guitar! Sounds SO amazingly good. I am an Eastman fan. I love my T486 Classic see-through Red. Build quality and attention to detail blows the new Gibsons out of the water! So sorry to hear about Russell.
I got my first archtop recently, used from a really good local player in LA, it's an Eastman with a floating humbucker from 2006. I love it. was worth every penny, used got it for 1k since the guy had upgraded it so it wasn't "stock", but a great player deal. I love it and know I always will.
Watched an hour long interview with Russell Malone from earlier this year I think. Thoroughly enjoyed what he had to say. A good man from what I could tell. Didn’t seem to be very old, kind of scary for this 60 year old. Have been enjoying your posts Jimmy.
I have an older Eastman AR503 CE, similar specs. Solid spruce carved top, laminated maple back and sides. Neck at the nut 1.75”. Great for finger style jazz. Over the years the top mellowed out. Good luck with yours.
RIP, Russell Malone. You, Sir, look and sound more vibrant and healthy than in recent videos. (I notice those things as you are a whole month older than I!!)
After the announcement of "got my non-cursing hat on today" I thought it was safe to continue listening. Sorry you lost your friend Russell Malone Mr. Bruno. I am lucky enough to have heard him live.
Nice sound on that eastman.... nice thing to do with the fingerings is start on a note, come up a triad to the note again and do that for all of them... then another little thing thats cool to add is after you do it go up to one higher note on triad you started and do the hammer pull off to and from next note from it then half step down and back ... beautiful sound for an exercise. liked what evans did on OLIHTS fill before the repeat after first F chod taking that Eb with well he has other notes but I got by with 7/3/6 in half steps 5 times up to G.... keep feeling like playing the red top riff in that tune
Hi Jimmy, I have the earlier version of the same guitar. I think it’s from 2014…it’s a great guitar and it’s one of the few guitars I’ve managed to keep through the years and glad I did. Yours sounds great.
Nice guitar Jimmy. I still love that Sadowsky. And your signature model has a thicker body than Roger's other Archtops. So sorry to hear about Russel Malone. way too young.
yes. sad news about Mr Malone. strange when things like this happen. on another note...that Eastman sounds amazingly clear and balanced. and that pickup just sounds so much more like a floating pickup. interesting.
That's the guitar I have been using at BJ Camp. You gave me a set of flat wound Sadowski 12s for it. I think you will find that it opens up over time. Mine certainly did. So sorry about your friend Russell. 🙏
Beautiful guitar and sound, Jimmy. I hope you read the book that I recommended to you that works so well for so many people. Don’t let the title make you think think no way. You will find a joy in quitting as I did. Allen Carr The Easy Way To Quit Smoking Please let me know that you read this comment. I’ve seen you several times at gigs. Especially down here in Virginia near the Inn at Little Washington. Huge fan. And also a couple of times you reached in your pocket and gave me your guitar pick. I was very moved. Peace, Alan
Beautiful guitar Jimmy. Sounds both crisp and full, very resonant. Sad to hear about Russell Malone, just found out from your video, thanks for sharing.
@@brunoonlineschool7527 Just my 2 cents but when you become able to clearly see it as the horrible thing it really is and hate it as such then quitting and staying quit becomes easy, about as easy as refusing a cyanide pill. As long as you see it as something you used to enjoy but have to stop now and need help & support to get thru it, blah blah, you'll struggle and probably fail. I quit cigs, weed, hard drugs, all that shit has been behind me for decades. When it comes to cigs I got over that poison 47 years ago when they were only 55 cents a pack. I was riding in the back of a car with some friends and had a half pack on me. I made up my mind right there, tossed them out the window and never looked back. Nobody noticed and I didn't say anything to anybody. I was the same way with everything else, just made up my mind to myself, didn't make any announcements or seek anybody's encouragement. They can't really help because when it comes down to it they all have their own lives to worry about. It's between you and yourself. Maybe I have an ace up my sleeve because I'm a loner, but that doesn't change how it is up to you alone, nobody can do it for you, no doctors, no pills, no counseling, just you. One other lucky thing about me is I never had trouble with alcohol because for me it is self limiting. Once I get past the 2 beer buzz I get a headache, which spoils my good time so I just switch over to soda pop for the night. I don't look up to the guy who can drink everybody under the table, because he is nothing to admire. That is another aspect of the substance avoidance mindset, seeing that sort of thing for what it really is. I know a few who had get away from the bottle to pull their lives out of the fire. A bass player I knew for a few years had to quit drinking, and you'd never know it right off because he doesn't tell people his recovery story. I picked up on it by being around him and he talked a tiny bit about it. We used to go bar hopping to check out bands and chicks. He has no problem being in a room full of drinkers. He's like me, just quit to himself. I knew another bass player who did tell everybody his alcohol recovery story, and he smoked like a chimney too, you wouldn't believe it. Anyway that was more like 2 bucks, lol. BTW I'm a drummer, not even jazz but a rock basher, and I like your playing and your little talks. I have a rock guitar player friend who digs your stuff too. Best wishes to you Jimmy.
Alan, perhaps we were at the same show at the theatre at Little Washington. Jimmy was playing a 7 string and I had just purchased an Ibanez 7 string and couldn’t find a string heavy enough for the low A. Jimmy reached into his gig bag and gave me an .080, wouldn’t take a dime. Jimmy is a very generous man.
@@brunoonlineschool7527 that’s great! All you have to do is read it from cover to cover as he instructs. And it is an easy read, and you will find it uplifting. Good luck, my brother.
So sad to hear about Russell, I live in Tokyo and always try to catch the greats when they roll into town. I would have been at the gig if I would have known about it as Russell was one of the live acts I've been wanting to see for quite awhile. I always loved when Pat Martino came into town and always love Ron Carter live. Sorry to hear about your friend Jimmy, keep moving forward with your new jazz box, its a beauty. When are you coming to Tokyo Jimmy!?
Yeah, Jimmy. I have Eastmans “335” type model. I wasn’t crazy about spending money in the Chinese economy. But, dang they make nice quality guitfiddles. I’ll just say it. I can’t afford the Gibson prices.
Eastman guitars leaves all the USA made guitars far in a thick dust, and they are much cheaper. Further more many of the jazz boxes are made from solid woods not plywood like Gibson
Condolences for your friend... about your cursing hat... the first video of yours I watched was "how to practice"... some people sound like morons when they curse (me) and some people don't (you)... thanks for the videos...
@@brunoonlineschool7527 I guess sound and playability was what I was going for. But I like the fret marks too. My Eastman doesn’t have fret marks on the finger board. I had a really difficult time getting used to that.

Beautiful guitar! RIP Russell Malone 🙏🏿
My condolences my friend. The music lives on. This guitar sounds beautiful in your hands.
Sorry about your friend, and thank you for all you do. Hope your brother's well, too. God bless Jimmy.

Beautiful guitar! RIP Russell Malone...wonderful player. Saw him at the Wichita Jazz Festival back in the day
Congratulations 🎉 sweet sounds, thank you ❤
At age 60, Russell was in mid-career. We’ve been robbed of a great player. RIP
Congrats on your new Eastman, Jimmy, which sounds fantastic in your hands! Sad to hear about Russell Malone. What a great musician. RIP.
Sounds beautiful, Jimmy. Yes, so sorry to hear about Russel Malone too. RIP
Sounds great Jimmy! So sorry to hear about Russell.

Been looking at this one myself. It all sounds good when you play.
Sweet Guitar but then again it’s also in the hands of one of the greats!
Gorgeous guitar! Sounds SO amazingly good. I am an Eastman fan. I love my T486 Classic see-through Red. Build quality and attention to detail blows the new Gibsons out of the water! So sorry to hear about Russell.
The ringtone playing right along
The phone ringing and the traffic sounds were harmonically lovely with what you were playing.
I got my first archtop recently, used from a really good local player in LA, it's an Eastman with a floating humbucker from 2006. I love it. was worth every penny, used got it for 1k since the guy had upgraded it so it wasn't "stock", but a great player deal. I love it and know I always will.

Hey Jimmy thanks for sharing this beautiful guitar really sad news about Russel Malone.
👍 life goes too fast. God bless you Jimmy
I saw Russell play with Ron Carter a few years back in Sydney. Fantastic musician; RIP
RIP, Russell Malone. You, Sir, look and sound more vibrant and healthy than in recent videos. (I notice those things as you are a whole month older than I!!)
I’m sorry about your loss…
that guitar really compliments you. glad you got it!
Love the Eastman tone!
I heard Russell a few years ago at the Vermont Jazz Center. Really one of my favorite live jazz guitar performances. Very sad.
After the announcement of "got my non-cursing hat on today" I thought it was safe to continue listening. Sorry you lost your friend Russell Malone Mr. Bruno.
I am lucky enough to have heard him live.
At 4:04 why does the train horn sound like 7b9 chord 😂😂😂 and also. Why does it sound so good as well !!
😂 do you remember the scene in the blues brothers movie when jake and elwood have that room next to the rail road tracks 😂
Great guitar! Sounds great with the tone you have! Congratulations!
Digging the sweet guitar!! Love and respect sir🙏
Very very nice guitars
Lovely guitar. Ive seen so many awesome guitars in my life, which makes me really wish I was a right-handed player. Enjoy your new instument!
So happy to find you still making waves, Mr. Bruno. A former student from UArts..
Nice sound on that eastman.... nice thing to do with the fingerings is start on a note, come up a triad to the note again and do that for all of them... then another little thing thats cool to add is after you do it go up to one higher note on triad you started and do the hammer pull off to and from next note from it then half step down and back ... beautiful sound for an exercise.

Beautiful train harmony. I'm sure it's been done, but an album of jazz interlaced with transport noises would be very cool.
Congratulations On The Fantastic New Guitar! It sounds great!
That sounds the business
That guitar sounds good Jimmy.
Hi Jimmy, nice guitar. Also sad to hear Russell died. I saw him with Ron Carter also. Hell of a player.
You got it man. Just keep uploadin.
Guitar sounds fine.....course, with you playing it....enough said. You got it, man.
That's a ***king nice non swearing hat. Guitar even nicer.
Sorry about your friend Russel. He was an inspiring torchbearer for true straight ahead jazz guitar.
Nice guitar Jimmy. Really full sound. I personally think it’s the best yet. Looks great too.
Sorry to hear about your friend.
Nice guitar, Jimmy. Great tone with a lot of body to it. Sorry to hear about your friend. It's never easy.
Nice looking and sounding guitar, but I believe you could make most guitars sound good. The background train horn made interesting harmonics ;-)
Hey man, I actually think you harmonized quite nicely over that ringtone.
Nice guitar Jimmy. I still love that Sadowsky. And your signature model has a thicker body than Roger's other Archtops. So sorry to hear about Russel Malone. way too young.

i like those crispy fresh strings. i think you said you like them better not so crispy. beeautiful guitar.
I tried a used Sadowski Jim Hall guitar lately .Now I want one
my condolences on the loss of Mr Malone

Jimmy's got a new blonde
lol
That’s why he’s not swearing
nice Jim!
Nice guitar. How is the 25" scale? Is it a bit wide in the lower frets or no big deal?
Eastman guitars leaves all the USA made guitars far in a thick dust, and they are much cheaper.
Further more many of the jazz boxes are made from solid woods not plywood like Gibson
" My Brother's Calling Me " , You should use that as a song title . Try Gorgomite on the fingerboard .
Hi Jimmy,
You said that this Eastman has a 1 11/16 width nut. Do you prefer a wider or narrower nut, or does it not make a difference to you?
I'm used to 1 and 11 16th nut widths
Condolences for your friend... about your cursing hat... the first video of yours I watched was "how to practice"... some people sound like morons when they curse (me) and some
people don't (you)... thanks for the videos...
Hey Jimmy, what strings do you use?
Hey there, Uncle Jimmy… I wanted to ask you if you have any feeling about 440 versus 432 Hertz tuning?
you got an old eastman guitar? i could grab it from ya (;
Is is noticeably better than the 503ce?
depends what you mean. For me it has a 1/11/16th nut width and has fret makers. That way I can use it to teach. they do sound similar
@@brunoonlineschool7527 I guess sound and playability was what I was going for. But I like the fret marks too. My Eastman doesn’t have fret marks on the finger board. I had a really difficult time getting used to that.
@@brunoonlineschool7527I was an Eastman artist . I have had many models. Still have one.
Very sad news.
