sandbox jazz guitar thread

SANDTRAP NOOOOOOOO (sinks into sand)

Who was the guitar player you saw?

Tom Dempsey.

I had a feeling. He subbed as my teacher sometimes when Ted was ill. Decent guy.

Maybe mods should google-proof that? IDK

Because you said he was decent?

Recently learned that some of Ted's other students were Kevin Eubanks and Peter Bernstein

Gilad Hekselman - going to be a big deal?

Trying to avoid that guy, but maybe I'm confusing him with a similarly named percussionist

I saw Gilad Hekselman once with Sam Yahel. I thought he was good -- his main strength was that he was dynamic and exciting, which is something not a lot of jazz guitarists are (I think I saw a George Benson video where he talked about how guitarists get stuck playing in one or two positions, and you have to use the whole fretboard in a more striking way to create excitement -- he did that).
