A heavily reharmonized All the Things You Are, played by Vic Juris. Somewhat Metheny-esque in places.

[Ian Thumwood]

Vic Juris appears to have re-harmonised this to the extent that it has become "While my guitar gently weeps!"

It is strange that you hear a Metheny influence in his playing as I feel that he was coming more out of a tradition of players such as Jim Hall and John Abercrombie in particular. Acoustically, you sense that he was coming out of a tradition akin to Ralph Towner. The new album is really good and you can appreciate why he was held in such esteem by other musicians.

"All the things you are" ….

[Ian Thumwood]

Got to say that I thought that was the best version of "All the things you are" that I have heard. The tune was reinvigorated being re-harmonised and played as a slow ballad. Here is something more up-tempo from his Eric Dolphy tribute album...

The more I listen to his music, the more I love about what he plays. There are some interesting records in his discography including duets with Phil Woods, Stanley Cowell and our own John Etheridge. He also seems to have been a prolific writer on books about jazz guitar technique including a number to do with harmony.

Not going mad, Joseph - It was deleted when I tried to edit it, so posted again. Not too happy with the adverse changes on this newly designed forum.

I thought that this track was incredible. The whole album has a cult status and is extremely difficult to find. I am not sure it is available on CD . The prices I have seen are ridiculous and I was wondering if it was something you could pick up on vinyl . It appears to have been rereleased in 2020. I have a request out for a track with Clifford Jordan on. He is not a player you hear a great deal off yet he always seems very good on everything I have heard by him. One of my friends played drums for him when he toured France and he considered him the best American musician he had worked with.

For quite a number of young budding jazz musicians coming up at the time of that recording, it was seen as a touchstone for where to take the music if one didn't wish to take Free or Fusion pathways - even before the advent of Marsalis.
