Frank Vignola hosted a guitar workshop prior to his performance in Homer Alaska. I was blessed to be at both. I paid for the workshop and my wife and I were unable to scrape the funds up for the performance. Frank comped our tickets and invited us (those who attended the workshop) to play a song with him. He his spirit is just as sweet as the music he makes. God bless you, Frank.
Vince Cherico let's this band an ease of swing that complements Mazzaroppi's on-top feel so nicely. You could ride this rhythm team up to the heavens - and Rosenthal is just amazing, tasteful to a fault!
As great as it is to watch these streams, it is so much better when you’re there! If you’re in town on a Wednesday and you like jazz guitar it’s a must, but actually it’s worth a trip, especially when there’s this level guests. We New Yorkers are experiencing a kind of guitar Nirvana these days. Thanks, Frank!
Frank, you are so right. I have to get there. We Central Jerseyans are very jealous of you New Yorkers, but I intend to make it to Birdland in the next few weeks.
Ed is one of the greatest living jazz guitarists. Broom is another. We lost Russell and that was my top 3. Chops are good but soul and taste are very underrated.
Yes! To try and keep it simple; First phrase is over Fmaj7 Dmi7 Gmi7 C7 and he is playing simply a D minor Triad up and down the neck. This creates a resolved stable sound implied through the whole progression while still having interesting intervalic relationship with the chord tones passing thru the total progression and the arpeggio and the triplet rhythm to really spread out the Dmi triad over the whole chord progression. Second phrase is over Fmaj7 Dmi7 Gmi Emi7b5 A7b9. He is using the same concept but in an opposite application. Instead of a stable sound like a minor triad, he starts off with a three note grouping of Bb E A up the neck. This is implying the tension found in the last chord of the progression, A7b9, by highlighting the Tritone Bb and E that is found in both a C7 and in an A7b9. And he finishes it off with a classic D harmonic minor lick that is commonly played over A7b9 to resolve to Dmi. To sum it up simply, first lick he is playing Dmi triad over progression for a ‘resolved’ sound, and second pass he is implying A7b9 with 3 note grouping Bb E A, highlighting the tension of the second tritone of A7b9, Bb-E, and resolving with a common bebop lick found in ii-7b5 V7b9 progressions. This is the signature of the masters, using relatively simple and fundamental concepts but in profoundly effective ways. Prioritizing Quality before Quantity.
They do on our amps. On our 1967 Deluxe, input two has a lower volume and on our 68' Reissue Twin, the second input is labeled "vintage," with different tone controls than input one, which is labeled "normal." I'm not sure of the difference on Frank's 69' Princeton.
@jzgtr100 yes, I know, but he did a guitar night with Frank and Jimmy. It was streamed live, but I don't see that it was retained for future viewings which is a shame.

Love Ed Cherry's sound

Pasquale Grasso's hand is dancing like a ballet dancer. Amazing.
Ed brzmi tak jak lubię. Świetny koncert.
Ted Rosenthal is an absolute pleasure to follow. He always has something new to say.
Pasquale Grasso’s solo on the first song of the set is absolutely beautiful
You gotta have Ed back. He's just so good
A SERIOUS sextet!! Ed Cherry channeling Wes a bit on Sweet..... Three ace guitarists w/ crack rhythm section. Thanx for posting.
I liked you all 👏👏👏 super Ed 👍
Podziwiam i nadziwić sie nie mogę. To są Profesorowie i jeszcze cos nadto. Dziękuję bardzo POZDRAWIAM serdecznie ❤❤❤❤❤
It's hard to get better than this. These players are way smooth. I'm a big fan of Frank Vignola. Los Angeles
Great music. Great video. Great idea. SL
Three masters but I love so much Cherry’s warm sound and his montgomerian taste…he’s so “funky”
I agree
Always loved how one could hear a Wes tribute during Ed's playing......
@@sitarnutexactlyExactly. all his notes sound so good
Yes indeed ,Ed ´s playing is warm and funky ! The two others are good too in a very different way 😊 !
Sorry guys, lovely playing, but the tone sucks(not including Cherry)...Cherry's tone with the slight delay gives the guitar so much more depth.
LOVE GUITAR NIGHT!
Dziękuję. SZACUNEK. POZDRAWIAM SERDECZNIE ❤❤❤
Great, great musicians, one and all. I love Wes, and Ed Cherry's playing put a big smile on my face.
Hello Ed ! Remember Saint Cezaire French Riviera !... I was your drummer, in the cave, at St Cezaire jazz festival ! Thank's for all these moments !
Super Ed Cherry 👏👏👏

Ed Cherrys tone just get better and better , tasty
Stunning
Great balance and great playing from these seasoned players!!
Hermoso
Everyone is clearly a great player but Pasquale is so inspiring to me right now!
Agree. Very original and never relies on that blues parachute. And I like blues .
i love the bass quoting "Birdland" at 8:36
REAL DEAL STUFF!!!
Great gig!!
Just for anyone having trouble finding the tune, it's called "So Sorry Please" - Bud Powell.
The correct title is "Sweet and Lovely"
@@alg4943i mean at 21:22 the title is it to be "so sorry now", but it's actually "so sorry please".
Fantastic!!! Some guitar trio!!!
Brilliant.
thank you very strimming

Czy Oni chociaż porządnie zarabiają? Mam taką nadzieję. Dziękuję. Brawo ❤❤❤
AWESOME PASQUALE GRASSO!!...
15:24-15:38 can someone explain this musical phrase/lick idea theory because it is a masterpiece (pentatonic?)
Normally those kind of guitarist doesn't think with scales. He is just playing a pattern of notes over the chords.
Yes! To try and keep it simple;
First phrase is over Fmaj7 Dmi7 Gmi7 C7 and he is playing simply a D minor Triad up and down the neck. This creates a resolved stable sound implied through the whole progression while still having interesting intervalic relationship with the chord tones passing thru the total progression and the arpeggio and the triplet rhythm to really spread out the Dmi triad over the whole chord progression.
Second phrase is over Fmaj7 Dmi7 Gmi Emi7b5 A7b9. He is using the same concept but in an opposite application. Instead of a stable sound like a minor triad, he starts off with a three note grouping of Bb E A up the neck. This is implying the tension found in the last chord of the progression, A7b9, by highlighting the Tritone Bb and E that is found in both a C7 and in an A7b9. And he finishes it off with a classic D harmonic minor lick that is commonly played over A7b9 to resolve to Dmi.
To sum it up simply, first lick he is playing Dmi triad over progression for a ‘resolved’ sound, and second pass he is implying A7b9 with 3 note grouping Bb E A, highlighting the tension of the second tritone of A7b9, Bb-E, and resolving with a common bebop lick found in ii-7b5 V7b9 progressions.

41:30 Question: Do jazz players typically plug into the second input on Fender tube amps?
They do on our amps. On our 1967 Deluxe, input two has a lower volume and on our 68' Reissue Twin, the second input is labeled "vintage," with different tone controls than input one, which is labeled "normal." I'm not sure of the difference on Frank's 69' Princeton.
@@RadioFreeBirdland Interesting! Thank you.
Great video (music), BTW.
Why dont you have the Guitar Night episode with Jack Wilkins and Jimmy Bruno?
Sadly, Jack Wilkins passed away about three months ago.
@jzgtr100 yes, I know, but he did a guitar night with Frank and Jimmy. It was streamed live, but I don't see that it was retained for future viewings which is a shame.
@@darrenmcgowen2705 okay. I see. I didn’t understand your earlier comment. Thanks
love franks acoustic sound ,and positive playing...excellent...shame that pasquale was so quiet..
what make guitar is Ed playing?
Yamaoka custom archtop
0:47
Pasquale’s Trenier has a beautiful tone. Not to mention he is smoking hot.
I do believe you meant "pot".
Pasquale's hand is bigger than his face and his fingers would make an octopus have a seizure. It ain't fair. But it sounds good
lol shades of Tal "the Octopus" Farlow :)
It seems like Pasquale didn't expect to turn into a blues player by the end of the show lol
Kontemplativ
I have enough that ordinary guitar sounds. Sorry. Please don't misunderstand me. You play unbelievable. But....by the time I'm ............
