I've loved that guy's playing and singing for a long time. He's like the Harry Connick, Jr., of guitar. John's father, Bucky, is also a jazz guitar wiz.

Awesome isn't he?

I love his voice - Check out Bossa Nova (Album) to get a real Idea of what he can do!
Also - Get "Meets the Beatles" a fine album of Beatles covers he's done.

I caught John here in Toronto a year ago performing with a who's who of the local jazz scene. He stole the show! A great entertainer.

Kojack · April 7th, 2006, 08:21 AM

What a cool performance!

I drove 80 miles thru a blizzard to see him in Indianapolis several years back. My girlfriend adores him, and the tickets to the show were my birthday gift to her.

Killing time before hand, we ran into the entire band, John, brother Martin on bass and Bucky--a personal hero of mine--on guitar, on their way to the show. They were a class act. Each gracious, personable, and willing to chat for a few moments. My girlfriend was delighted.

Attendance was hurt by the weather, but they put on a terrific show.

If you get the chance, I strongly recommend that you check him out. He's got monster chops, but keeps his performance very musical and accessible.

Listen to this, it's kind of funny... My stepdad plays with John all the time, whenever he's in NY/CT/NJ. He's done Letterman with him the last 3x he was on the show. He's a pretty cool guy! My dad actually took lessons 30 years ago from his dad Bucky, who is an OUTSTANDING guitar player as well... talk about 6 degrees of separation! LOL

Brian blaut · April 7th, 2006, 11:13 AM

He's in San Francisco this SATURDAY if anyone in the Bay Area is interested. I've seen him at Yoshi's. GREAT SHOW! John is amazing on that thing and quite a smooth voice as well. If you see his show (and I recommend you do) sit near the front so you can watch his fingers tear on that fretboard.

harlycarly · April 8th, 2006, 12:11 PM

Any idea when that was made??

Thanx for posting it.

jumpnblues · April 8th, 2006, 01:28 PM

Ya' know...if he keeps practicin' he'll be pretty good someday.

Very nice. I like the way he uses that 7th string for bass. Also the unison singing thing. I'm going to have a go at that myself. Only slower, and with fewer notes (all taken from the pentatonic minor scale).

TJNY · April 8th, 2006, 01:38 PM

I have seen him front commercials for some casino's in the NY/NY/CT area and wondered why & who he was. I have been schooled!!!!

Thanks for the link :)

lewis · April 10th, 2006, 11:06 AM

Along with Campilongo, Thompson, Volkaert, he's on my list for contemporary inspiration.

Just Amazing ...

stantheman · April 10th, 2006, 11:34 AM

I've been sayin' it for years

Maked me feel like Randy Quaid in "Independence Day".
An outstanding entertainer - would have made it in any era. But I'm glad he's in this one. 8)

tele_roots · April 10th, 2006, 11:44 AM

Someone can recommend me the Best Albums of Him ?

I will buy some, i like that kind of stuffs, excellent for guitars players and cool voice.

mark norwine · April 10th, 2006, 12:16 PM

I'd say "Live at Birdland"

1.) It's live....I like that
2.) you get to hear some of his "stories"....if you've ever seen him, you know he's a funny story teller.
3.) you get a little of everything....standards, ballads, some rockin' tunes {including a duet with Grover Kemble}
4.) it's a double CD...so you get twice as much fun!
5.) you get to hear a whole lot of Ray Kennedy, too. Ray has got to be one of the finest piano players around these days....

Yeah.....I vote "Live at Birdland". It's on Telarc & is easy to find.

That guy is amazing.
And I have SO much respect for his regular bass player, hanging on at those incredible tempii (with no drummer)!
Great music - great fun!
