I used to play a lot of the jazz standards. HARD stuff. If you dont keep up with it, it's easy to forget. Lately, I've been getting back into it. It's coming back. Larry is one of my guitar heroes. Recently, found another great one from the old days which is the hardest guitar music to cover. Jimmy Bruno. That is one of the ones who established jazz standards. Him, Pass, and Martino. I think Larry. I couldn't believe it when i seen Larry play SO WHAT. That's impossible guitar right there!

This is what makes you tube special. What a find. If you love Larry, this performance is a gift. There are moments that are pure musical joy. The groove is so tight you want to hump something.
Listen to that drummer... he's a metronome!!! Perfect, every musician doing their job... and doing it well!!! This is the way a live band should click baby!!! As a musician this is just pure joy for me!!!!
This concert at the Blue Note Tokyo is just pure musical delight! Everyone in the band is just so groovy and musical, no excessive riffing, Carlton's guitar playing is so tasteful, imagine being an audience that evening. Great stuff here, even if it's coming from a VHS. Cheers!
Wow, Larry's come a long way since muscle shirts and lit cigarettes in his hand while playing. God bless him and his son... and all who glorify God with music.
This probably sounds ridiculous but he uses the guitar with all its possibilities much like Jimi Hendrix. They both coax and wring everything out of their instruments
I think so. I saw the North American version of this tour, different band, somewhat different set list and different electric guitars:-) Smiles is great on both vids of this 90/91 tour (the other is from Montreal I think). Larry is just superb on everything here.. Really like Emotions Wound Us So on this one. Wow
