Lenny, is it Paul Chambers?

Larry, I believe it's bloom-DEE-doe.

I really don't think he's underrated now, he has gotten a lot of recognition in the last decade or so. I always hear his name mentioned in the same sentence with Wes, Benson and Burrell. He was certai ...

Yep you couldn't beat Gatemouth for big band swinging blues. He was a genius. I heard about the flood when it happened but don't know what came of it. That's amazing you have one of his guitars...is t ...

Bobby Broom is another great player. Check out "The Deep Blue Organ Trio". I believe Henry Johnson has recorded with these guys also.

A few more that I like a lot.. Gatemouth Brown, Alex ...

Corky, I've used the Omnibook to check my transcription. So far, it is fairly accurate. The production quality (printing, binding, four measure ...

I don't really use the cage shapes so much but when I'm learning licks I visualize them over the chord grip and take note of what chord tone it starts and ends on. That's usually how I catalog them in ...

I'm reading more and more these days and getting better at it...slowly. It's been time well spent imo. There's just a ton of great printed music out there to learn from. I've been working out of the B ...

I want to work up the "The Eternal Triangle" off Sonny Side Up. That's a smokin' rhythm tune with tons of melodic ideas for the taking.
