- Earl Klugh performing live in the Performance Studios at WRVA - FM 100.7 The River Raleigh, NC 9/13/2010
Mr Lucky and Days of Wine and Roses (Henry Mancini)
Videographer: Bill Cole
I just hope everyone who watches this video understands how singularly advanced what Earl does here. I have played guitar for over 45 years, and in my judgement there are only a handful of people on the planet that can do what Earl is doing here. Please understand that much of what he is playing is completely improvised. Yes, he starts with a worked out solo guitar arrangement (perhaps the best I've every heard of Bluesette), then mixes in not just ad-lib single note lines, but chords & bass.
OMG. I've seen Earl perform, I'm lucky enough to consider him a friend...but this was mind-blowing brilliance. It's beyond my comprehension how he figures out these arrangements. Sheer genius. Thank you Earl and thanks for whoever posted this (Bill). Thanks thanks thanks.
Love your style, its not easy, but you are so smooth...!
Earl is great
By far Earl Klugh is among the greatest guitarists in the world. Ever.
Magnificent rendition of Blussette... distinctly Earl
If only there would be more of Earl doing it solo on u tube. I have a couple of his solo guitar albums, it's my favored way to hear him. Wonderful. A treat for guitar players.
Great performance! Many musicians play Bluesette in Bb, the original is in G like what Earl Klugh did on this video.
the first tune is "Bluesette...:"
he just played ordinary nylon string acoustic guitar with little fret but he did it in extraordinary way, this is the great guitarist supposed to be.
Melodic solo guitar playing - that's where it's at!
The first tune is, of course, the very well known "Bluesette" composed by the phenomenal guitarist and harmonica god Toots Thielemans.
amazing how Klugh taught himself to play accompaniment and melodic line simultaneously .and that's not just finger picking chords . Usually only classical and calypso guitarists, a good percentage of jazz guitarists, can make one guitar sound like two or even three guitars in live performance . Sure Klugh like everybody uses overdubbing for recordings sometimes. big deal.
Earl rarely, if ever, used overdubbing. This is what makes him such a brilliant composer and world-class
guitarist.
I’m guessing Earl Klugh took influence from Lenny Brea, but still Earl’s feel and touch is amazing!
thank you. it was a rare opportunity.
one of a kind!
Are you sure the first tune is Mr. Lucky? I thought Mr. Lucky was something a little different (search youtube). Anyway, a great tune, that he performed with chet & earl on Soundstage 35 years or so ago. Thanks for posting.
JCKAMK Somebody else said it was "Bluesette."
Been waiting to see some of Klugh's solo jazz stuff live for years now... Thanks!
Earl always nail it...👍👍
GREAT as always!
Who could possibly dislike this?!
I can't say enough about Earl, Kirby. He's my favorite guitarist, and he's becoming my teacher by providing me with examples such as this. I have transcribed his version of "I've Never Been In Love Before" that he plays on a video with Martin Taylor (another of my heroes); you can find my recording of it on my UA-cam channel. I'm now working hard at transcribing this version of "Bluesette" and I think I'll do "The Days of Wine and Roses" after that.
yes yes yes
all tho' I've heard the name I haven't had the privilege of seeing/hearing him play til now.Obviously a virtuoso.I am now going to quit guitar,lol
Excellent Earl!
Truly Blessed...
never liked the term "smooth jazz" sounds to weather channel like... new term would be Earl Klugh Jazz !!
awesome..you'd think he'd play that in A or E but in G !!
Ah! i like it 2.24 the penny finally dropped!
Earl is a genious!!
Thanks don for that comment !
