When I first started getting into jazz, I googled the best albums for a jazz novice to listen to & Art Blakey's "Moanin'" was a top recommendation. It's a fantastic album, full of hooks & melodic soloing. You have done a magnificent job translating this piece to guitar. Your tone is as rich as melted butter & as sweet as honey. This one's going on my mp3 player! You are a fine jazz guitarist, mate!

[Redler]

I'm not familiar with this either...

This sounds like a real jazz band! Top class playing and producing! Bravo!!

[ODH]

How cool is that guitar?

Blummin' lovely.

Best fest ever!

[Hilary]

Beautifully crafted Alfredo!

Best Fest ever - definitely, but we don't actually need a fest do we. Let's keep em coming regardless 

[alfstone]

Thanks everybody!

 

Other jazz standards coming in the next few days, hopefully...this fest is re-awakening in me the joy to play this wonderful kind of music...

Bien joué Alfredo!
I know very well this standard ( my youth!)

If I did not leave for Haiti in 15days (mission of burn care training) I would have done well in the same spirit "take five"
