    I was listening to Rory's album, Swing Expedition, and I was thinking,
    Wow! The piano player and clarinet player are also incredible!
    Then I found out they were all Rory.

    Rory’s rhythm is more electrifying than just about everybody’s lead playing. It made me wonder if his unique technique drives his originality, or if he’d be just as fresh even if he played the regular way.

    What fantastic playing ! The song with which Rory opens the proceedings would be hard enough to play in normal position, but to play it on the lap with hand on top like a piano is mind boggling. Fantastic!

    Hey, Rory! @12:00 you talk about playing with Kenny Burrell at the NAMM Show, Heritage Guitars Booth. I remember how stunned you were when the "other guy" introduced himself as Kenny Burrell. Yes, he had you stay on to play with him as he demo'd the new Heritage Kenny Burrell Model. There was a third guitarist with you, Henry Johnson, who also had a Heritage Signature Model guitar. You made some great music!
    By the way, you are wrong about another thing. I have a Video! Send me a message...

    @ghairraigh 12 років тому

    By the way, Rory. I watched you play that day at NAMM 2005 for about 45 minutes before I realized you had a right-handed guitar, strung right handed, and you were playing it left handed, flat on your lap. You played some terrific bass lines part of the time while Henry Johnson and Kenny Burrell took turns comping and playing lead. You were absolutely right at home with them and had the ears and understanding of harmony to blend in perfectly with two masters. Get in touch about the video I have.

    Thanks for the upload. Rory might be pleased to know there IS video coverage of the session with Kenny Burrel and it's on UA-cam: "Kenny Burrel at NAMM 2004 with Rory Hoffman". There are other sessions too (eg Henry Johnson who seems to calm everybody down and bring some soul to the playing of all three - very nice)

    Spike Jones had a player in his band in the late 50's who played like Rory. There was a video on YT, now gone, that showed him in the back playing a right handed Fender Jazzmaster in a seated left-handed position.
    I'm amazed how Rory invented many unique chord positions, only able to be played as he does.
