Fantastic! Your guitar is GORGEOUS, it sounds amazing, and you sound and play just like Charlie Christian. AND the band is hot. Great work. Bravissimo!
Everything sounds authentic, even the crowds cheering The only things not authentic is not being able to see the horn players because of the music stands. I think the current people do not have the same aesthetics from the people in 1930s. Also they did not have copies of the lead sheets, but had to learn by listening to the records. I have never seen music stands in small groups of the Benny Goodman, Count Basie or Duke Ellington combos where the music sounds purely improvisation. Jonathan, you yourself mastered the period even visually, but not the other band members. I would love to come and hear you guys.
every picture you’ll find of Benny Goodman and his Orchestra you’ll see notes all over, each player his own stand, and of course; they’ll be trawling through 40-50 tunes a gig, tons of chorus lines or guide lines, breaks, doubled runs etc. They play solos, that doesn’t mean the music is improvised, it’s loaded with written material.
This is the meaning of life! Oh to have been there. Bloody fantastic!
Ol' Jonathan keeps the swing tradition alive...with a killer group!
Sounds like a killer gig and the band getting their rightful admiration from a good crowd.
It was incredible :)
Unbelievable ! What a public! This Stout is magic
You can say Jon's got the 'vocab' down, but to ride a 64-BAR SOLO on the fine line between improv and purposeful construction is the mark of a master.
What a crowd 😮…. I’d play to that crowd every night of the week if I was in a band that could work them up like that 😎
What a vonderful swinging band, lovely!
Illinois Jacquet lives.Terrific band.Superb drummer!!

I get the people were all excited but jesus christ the shouting was getting in the way of the music at that point, ugh
