    What I love about his playing is he have a super deep traditional jazz vocabulary but can play 'out' when he wants too while still being musical ,he has none of the "look at me I'm playing out bs stuff " some modern players do. He is a genius improviser

    There is SO MUCH WONDROUS VOCABULARY compact in just such a short moment that leaves one (at least leaves me ) very well astonished & captivated 🤗🙏🏽
    Has me like … WELL … TIME FOR ME TO GO BACK TO THE OLE RAWING BOARD AGAIN

    To get back to SWING 🤗🙏🏽

    I love how easy Cecil makes it look. He has a great instructional video. Very humble guy and I’d like to hear him soar higher like benson or Wes or joe pass on the for Django album. He stocks to the middle emotionally too much for my taste but great player.

  • @clydebermingham121
    @clydebermingham121 Рік тому

    It might even surprise some of many if CECIL were to say his vibe came from listening to more horn players then guitarists such as PAT MARTINO &/or GEORGE BENSON ….
    But if it were to be so … it would certainly make much sense to me ….. if so 🙏🏽🤗🙏🏽

    Certainly there would be this elf us who would really want to know what lead Cecil to play as he does … (I knownI do 🤗🙏🏽)
    Just like I wanted to know what lead my No.1 Guitar Hero (GEORGE BENSON) what led him to play the way he play 🤗🙏🏽
    It’s all just so amazing …. MUSIC …. And how it transpires 🙏🏽💥🙏🏽

  • @clydebermingham121
    @clydebermingham121 Рік тому

    Of course , I think for most of us we might at first just think like, WOW … GEORGE BENSON &/or PAT MARTINO …
    Then I remember hearing GEORGE BENSON mention how his playing took another level after listening to CHARLIE PARKER …
    So maybe there could be some of PARKER reflections t by re as we …. maybe 🙏🏽🤗
    (Or some other horn players as well …. Maybe 🤗🙏🏽)
