The Campus Five was just the starting point of a stable of bands run by Jonathan and Hilary, including the Jonathan Stout Orchestra, the Rhythmbusters, and the newest, the Grand Slam Sextet.

Jonathan Stout - "When You Wish Upon a Star" - AEA R84A Active Ribbon Mic - 1932 Gibson L-5
I’m at the @fretboardsummit this weekend in Chicago, but in the meantime, here’s a bit of “When You Wish Upon a Star”. I was playing the tune on a gig with a band last week, and happened to find myself almost catching the melody while I was soloing; so, I thought I should actually learn the darn thing as a chord melody arrangement.
I’m playing my 1932 Gibson L-5, with Martin SP 80/20 Strings, and a @bluechippicks TD40, all captured by my @ribbonmics R84A active ribbon mic.
There's no additional EQ, save for a HPF at 100hz, and only some vintage-style compression and touch of extra room sound added.
This style of Chord-melody playing and soloing is my own version of the playing of Allan Reuss, who played with Benny Goodman from 1935-1938 before going onto play with many of the best big bands and combos of the 30's and 40's, before settling into studio work in the late 40's. While there's scant resources for this style of playing, the THIRD volume of my DC-Music School Course is one of best places to start. It contains transcriptions of my improvisations in the Reuss-style over standard tunes, using all of the classic Reuss vocabulary and techniques.
Get it, and the other 2 volumes (mostly CC-style single note playing) at DC-Musicschool.com

Jonathan Stout - "Coquette (2024)" - AEA R84A Active Ribbon Mic - 1939 Gibson L-5
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed dnem
I'm continuing to work on using our new AEA R84A Active Ribbon Mic, and I haven’t done as much recording of my 1939 Gibson L-5 with it. So I threw down a quick rhythm track using my 1932 L-5, and then jammed a bit over “Coquette”, playing an intro, chorded melody and an improvised chord solo chorus, followed by some single note soloing. The 1939 is way brighter, so it really cuts through a band...

I'm continuing to work on using our new AEA R84A Active Ribbon Mic, and I jammed a quick 3 chorus version of "My Blue Heaven" while my family was out of the house. I used the intro from the classic 1940 Artie Shaw and his Gramercy Five recording (an arrangement my Campus Five plays regularly), and quickly dashed out a rhythm guitar track to blow over. Both the rhythm and lead tracks were captur...

“I’m Crazy 'Bout My Baby" - Jonathan Stout - 1939 Gibson L-5
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed 2 měsíci
REPOSTED from Instagram: @campusfive “I’m Crazy ‘Bout My Baby” written by Fats Waller and Alex Hill. For tunes where I don’t have much a variation to offer on each “A section”, I figure the last 8 of the melody serves as a solid enough introduction to a chorus-length chord solo, in the style of the undersung Allan Reuss. If you dig this style of playing, my trio gigs feature both sides of my pl...

Beautiful suit beautiful playing Jonathan!!!
Incredibly tasteful, just like the suit 👍😊
Jonathan add some finger picks use your your pick to play a bass line will sound like a one man guitar band.good job. The best Paul, 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ PAUL
Classy man 🙏🏻👏🏼👍🏼😊
This what a real musician looks like just superb playing 🎉
Just loverly! Where's the rhythm track coming from?
Thank goodness musicianship isn't gone. It's epupting in guitarists like Jonathan Stout.
Sounds sweet!
Very nice -- and the tie, pocket puff, tie clip and collar bar are very nice touches as well!
******😇😇😇😇😇😇❤️
Most excellent.
Beautiful Jonathan.
And thankfully I found you, from Norm's.
Thank you for the video.
A great tune beautifully played.
Thanks, always loved that tune.
I'm so glad your knowledge of this kind of playing is being shared in the DC Music School courses! It's so important for preserving music history
Great stuff, Jonathan, as always. Your listeners eagerly await the book of your transcribed arrangements.
This is my favorite guitar of yours.
Caleb Hoffman
Beautiful archtop sound
Dang this is such a happy li'l ditty. Well done!
Holy heck!
The tone when you go to the single note soloing is crazy. It almost sounds electric!
Jonathan, are you using a ditto or similar pedal to play the rhythm part back so you can solo with it? You are my new idol. I have a 1921 Gibson l1 that I use an old sure mic on. It's got that cool jazz vibe also.
Wow. To be able to sit there are play these swinging guitar songs both the rhythm and the melody and licks wearing a cool bow tie is my dream! Such a mentor Jonathan!
This blows my mind, Jonathan. Such exquisite playing, and your tone is gorgeous. This is a full meal right here.
A very beautiful old L-5 deservedly in the hands of a master practitioner preserving the beauty of long-forgotten melodies. Many thanks !
Cool! Thanks for explaining the "skronch" chord. It seems you're smitten with the AEA R84A ribbon mic. 😀
Very lively picking and, yes, bright sound. With decent wired headphones, it sounds great, and I can clearly hear the location and sound of the backing guitar. Thank you!
Top shelf. So good.
Awesome! Can you tell more about this three-note voicing(F, Gb, Eb) over Eb tonic chord in the main theme? Sounds spicy!
I first found it used in a George Van Eps solo on "Cherry" from a Jess Stacy recording from 1950, and I've taken to calling it the "skronch" chord. Allan Reuss also played it in an unissued blues from the Peck's Bad Boys session as well. It's basically just a really "crunchy" way to play the tonic note over the tonic chord. So it's just a funky "Eb" voicing. "Spicy" is another good way to put it.
@@campusfive Wow, what a story! I really admire the way how you recreate the passion and joy of this music along with the historical background
Wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing your incredible guitar talent.
In the last 8 years I've been listening at your channel, that L-5 is still the sweetest guitar of the bunch, it is so lovely
Man, that left hand sure knows how to grab chords!
Pure Joy. 🙌🙌🙌
STOUT is RIGHT! Real stout.
So good - reminding me of all the classics i forgot!
My goodness your really amazing. Do you ever come up to Connecticut for shows?
I go where people bring me. But I'll be in the NYC-area 9/11-9/18 and you can check my calendar at www.campusfive.com
So good. Thank you.
Magnificent playing Jonathan. As a person who has had only moderate success with playing standards chord melody style Using the Fingerstyle approach, it is fascinating to see it executed with a pick. And it really makes sense to use a pick , because you can get so much more precision and swing into the sound. I am a special interested in your third volume video lesson from DC music. I hope to purchase it soon. Thank you so much!
Great job, consider. Finger picking to keep a bass line going. Good luck PAUL.😊😊😊🎉🎉❤❤❤
Nah, I don't think that's what I'm going for. But if that kind of Travis/Maphis/Chet fingerpicking is your think, check out Joel Patterson. He kills at that.
That's sound!))
Jonathan Stout= my new favorite guitarist
Off the charts good. Thanks 😎🤓
sweet
the real acoustic tone I like . Thanks a lot for the detailed and foreground views allowing immediately to learn and play exactly .
Every post is such a treat from this magnificent guitar master of fluidity.
That was good for my blood pressure.
