This is a not very challenging, but thoroughly charming, summit meeting between a blues guitar master and a jazz guitar legend. Taking four classic swing tunes ("Just Squeeze Me," "Avalon," "Stuffy," and, inevitably, "Flyin' Home"), two Robillard originals, and a jointly composed slow blues, and helped out by bassist Marty Ballou and drummer Marty Richards, Duke Robillard and Herb Ellis deliver a 48-minute swing guitar master class, Conversations in Swing Guitar. Ellis comes from jazz and Robillard from the blues, so their approaches are just distinct enough to keep things interesting; although both play with a clean, fat jazz tone and no one ever really hauls off and shreds, Robillard tends towards bent notes and funky chordal things while Ellis thinks a bit more in terms of long lines and florid ornamentation. Every so often you might find yourself wishing that the edges were just a bit rougher, but both of these guys are clearly having a great old time, and you will too. ~ Rick Anderson

| | Kid Ramos Greasy Kid's Stuff CD (2001)
Conversations In Swing Guitar music CDs
$13.55 
For his fourth solo release, and third on the Evidence label, the Fabulous Thunderbirds' guitarist, Kid Ramos, once again calls in some high-profile blues friends for assistance. Instead of last album's guitarists and jump blues horns, this time Ramos sticks with harpists/vocalists to provide the momentum on a set of relatively stripped-down, greasy blues. He's also the only guitarist on the sessions, which makes this a spotlight for his picking as well as his bandleading abilities. Harmonica aces Rick Estrin (Little Charlie & the ...

Conversations In Swing Guitar songs
$18.59
Many improvisers would agree that having the feeling of the blues is a crucial part of jazz expression; however, the jazz and blues worlds don't interact nearly as often as they should. There are jazz musicians who will play Miles Davis' "All Blues" or Charlie Parker's "Parker's Mood" on a regular basis but wouldn't know John Lee Hooker from Little Milton; there are blues artists who are much more likely to work with a rock musician than a jazz musician. ...
| | Duke Robillard Blue Mood CD (2004) (Import) Canada
Conversations In Swing Guitar album
$15.65
Duke Robillard pays homage to T-Bone Walker with this collection of swing, big band and blues songs. The bubbly and bouncy "Lonesome Woman Blues" has a be-bop Count Basie feeling as his supporting players are given brief solos to shine, particularly the horn section. There is far more substance and style to this approach than a rehashed run-through à la Brian Setzer. This fluidity continues, albeit a bit slower in tempo with the swinging "T-Bone Shuffle" which carries the same head-bobbing groove. Here the horns lead the way but Robillard makes his presence felt on guitar near the homestretch, and throughout ...
| | Buddy Guy Slippin' In CD (1994)
Conversations In Swing Guitar CD music
$7.59
Having made the obligatory star-studded blues albums with a generous sampling of his more famous children, Buddy Guy's record company apparently felt secure enough in the guitarist's new-found celebrity to trust him to carry an entire session on his own formidable shoulders.
Certainly the elder bluesman's previous two albums were none too shabby. DAMNED RIGHT, I GOT THE BLUES was a best-selling media event, and FEELS LIKE RAIN won a Grammy for "Best Contemporary Blues Album," but SLIPPIN' IN ranks with the best work Guy's ever done. It focuses attention on Guy's soaring, over-driven ...

Mondrae Williams grew up in the Rhema Christian Fellowship Church located on Long Island in North Lindenhurst. His first recollection of music was on Sunday morning curled up in his mothers lap listening to the Rhema Senior Choir sing. Mondraes grandmother, Mrs. Jimmie Williams knew that her first grandson was gifted. As an infant Mondraes aunt, Cynthia Joe would recall how he would awaken during the night and contentedly sing himself back to sleep. At around six years of age, Jimmie recalls how Mondrae would disappear into the bathroom and sing for hours. She reasoned that the bathroom had the best acoustics in the house, and Mondrae liked the amplified sound of his voice. Mondrae was a natural. By the time he was eight years old, his mother Charmaine Williams, his grandmother introduced him to the piano and insisted he joined the Rhema Youth Choir. Under the tutelage of his mother, grandmother, and aunt, who all sang and played the piano for Rhema, a place was found ...
