My 2 favorite Benson albums ¬
One of the best Miles Davis albums around IMO..One of those live performances where everythings falls in place.. bigtime
I agree about '4 & More'. Miles released TWO albums from this concert, the other being 'My Funny Valentine'. 4 & More featured the more upbeat tunes while 'Valentine' is primarily made up of the ballads. The thought just occurred to me that these 2 records, if seen together as one actual double album would historically, be Miles' 1st double! Mixing up the cuts from the 2 albums, in a playlist set to 'random', makes for a helluva listen!
On the subject of jazz guitar I would be doing you all a great disservice if I didn't mention the late, great Emily Remler. Her story is rather tragic and you can easily read all about her by just a quick search. In any event while her bio is interesting her music is outstanding. Here are two videos - one is just a song from the album "Catwalk" - her fantastic quartet recording from August 1984. A really good quartet with John D'Earth on trumpet, Eddie Gomez on bass and the very creative Bob Moses handling all percussion.
The second video is an instructional jazz guitar video with Emily playing and speaking. I get a kick out listening to her voice since she just like so women I've known throughout my life (I have lived in the greater NYC area almost my whole life and went to college on Long Island, which is where Remler was from).
Enjoy!

I just got a DSD of Dave Brubecks "Time Out" - its sounds wonderful. Other than the "Time Out" album what do you guys think are his best? I plan on buying 4 or 5. All suggestions are welcome. Love the drumming on "Time Out" by the way!
