Splendid. So great to hear Robben Ford backed by an orchestra... It's reminiscent of Wes, when he was supported by an orchestra. Thirty years from now people will listen to this and be jazzed.

This marvel of guitar magic played with Miles Davis. Do you wonder why? He's brilliant!! This is some beautiful, inspired playing by a true maestro!!

[@alward5678]

That's my boy. Killer Robben. I knew you could play jazz.

[@Danneau]

Wonderful...Robben Ford playing a Vintage Fender Telecaster with the Frankfurt Radio Big Band.

This is such a great marriage of musical talent. To echo someone’s comment, I wish this was on cd.

[@AllenPMinton]

I've heard Robben Ford play the blues, and knew he was a fine guitarist. But this performance of a soulful ballad was a surprise and a delight. Thank you HR Bigband!

[@herrbonk3635]

Yeah, he knows the jazz language pretty well, just like his friend Larry Carlton.

[@terje6522]

Wow, this sounds super! Beautiful arrangement. Really inspired and touching guitar improvisation.! Thanks, this was a great experience. Great recording too.

[@Jaumesubirachs]

Really beautiful, thank you.
It would be great if this concert was available on CD or download.

I guess if you own a priceless Dumble, you are perfectly entitled to place a refreshing beverage on top of it.
