Very good performance of a great tune! You guys play very well together. Love your playing Akio - Beautiful chordal work, comping and nice lines. Wondered what model Gibson you're playing? Looks like an older L7C? You're playing reminds me of Kenny Burrell/ Barney Kessel And very nice woody/acoustic tone.
Thank you very much for your kind comment.Yes, the guitar is L7C 1958~9. Had an old ES175 pickup (non PAF) installed as a floating pickup. The trio played for the first time had 45 min rehearsal and this was the first tune of the evening. I had played with the drummer 30+ year ago! but had never played with the bassist. They are both great listeners. The drummer graduated from Berklee in early '90s and lived in NYC for a year and played with Harper Brothers among others.
@@akiology Thanks Akio. An L7C. Listened to you play on Angel Eyes - with that pickup and guitar - your playing - beautiful. Your sense of time is great! Understand about one rehearsal and being good listeners. I went to Berklee from 77-79. Many very good musicians there at that time. Mike Stern - he got the gig with Miles in 80. Pat Metheny was still around as well - playing standards in the bars, not his music. The problem I had with Berklee was there was so much theory taught - which was great but not enough playing time on the bandstand to really use it so it became mine. So I learned alot but I had no idea how to get gigs and neither did my friends. We all eventually quit and and had to do other jobs for money. Years alter I went back to practicing and I'd figured out how to get gigs. Never stopped since then.
Also - my keyboard player worked with Chick Corea as a tour manager - and so I was able to meet Chick - take some of his workshops. What a great musician and human being! He really encouraged writing your own compositions - even working at it every day. I see you have written alot of tunes. I asked him one time if Bud Powell was who influenced his playing - that's what I had heard. He liked that question - said no - as far as piano players - it was Horace Silver's playing. Of course loved Bird, Coltrane, Miles, etc..
@@allthegigswewant Thank you foe the comment. I moved to the US in 1977 and settled in Chicago in 78. Actually I translated Modern Method For Jazz Guitar by Willian Levitt in 1977 and went to Berklee with a person from a Japanese music publishing company as an interpreter and met both Lawrence and Lee Berk as well as Mr Levitt. I applied a scholarship for Berklee in 1980 but was not accepted, But a funny thing is I sent one song that was in the demo tape fro Berklee to Joe Henderson and he accepted to record with me which was released from MUSE.
綿密にアレンジしたものや、長年共にしたメンバーでの演奏もそれぞれ素晴らしいのですが
この動画のような音だけで会話するスリリングな演奏こそ本物のジャズの魅力なのではないでしょうか。
ただそれを実際に行うためには笹島さんのような経験や感性が必要でこれぞまさにプロフェッショナルな演奏!!
到底及ばない自分の演奏でもスピリットは受け継いでいきたいです。
全部かっこいいんですが、ドラムソロ初めに絡む笹島さんなまらかっこいいです!!
コメントありがとうございます。『音だけで会話するスリリングな演奏』は僕にとってジャズの一番好きな部分です。既に答が出たものは(もちろんかなり難しいものが沢山ありますが)練習を積めば間違いなくできますから。
ご返信ありがとうございます。やはり!見てたら伝わってきました。
笹島さんの演奏姿は何者にも差別なく、オープンで他者へのリスペクトも感じ感動します。
これは生で体感しないとと...その時を楽しみにしてます!!(つい興奮し長々と失礼しました...)
ギターのジャズもいいですねぇ〜ピアノのジャズより近づきやすい親近感があります♪
コメントありがとうございます。ピアノはもちろんジャズでも中心的な楽器ですが、ギターは逆にピアノに比べて『不完全な』部分が活きる楽器とも言えるかもしれません(コードは6音が限界など)また弦楽器なのでビブラートが使える部分や、同じ弦楽器であるベースと相性の良さも挙げられますね。
素晴らしいの一言。まさに本物!!!
ありがとうございます
これは素晴らしいトリオ演奏!
3人の活き活きしたプレイが気持ち良いです!
コメントありがとうございます
素晴らしいです!❤❤
ありがとうございます
Very cool !
笹島先生今日も本場のジャズギター演奏ありがとうございます!
いつも好意的コメントありがとうございます
Sasajimaさん最高.
Sorry I missed you!
Thank you for your positive comment. Where do you live?
@@akiology been living here in Tokyo for about a year and a half now!

@@allthegigswewant Thank you for the great info. I always wondered about that.
DVとの相性いいですね!
コメントありがとうございます。DVは良いアンプです。この録画(録音)では僕が普段やるよりも多少Trebleが余分にかかっています。僕はもう少しメローな音でやることが多いです。他にこのギターと良く合うアンプはもう生産していませんがHenriksen Jazz Amp 12 です。
