Stuff Smith had an incredible swing, I read that he wanted to play the violin as Satchmo played the trumpet. Thank you Craig for sharing nice pieces of his style !
Hey Chris! I watch and rewatch your videos everyday,they are really helpful! I live in a small-town on the ohio River "Portsmouth ohio" Roy Rogers is probably our most famous home town hero,but Stuff Smith is right there with him.There is a area here in town referred to as "Boney Fiddle" I don't believe the name has anything to do with Smith,but find it interesting.Hope all is well,and thanks for the great videos!
This is awesome thanks :) Stuff Smith to me is the best jazz violinist of all time. I also love Joe Holley.. Stuff Smith was Joe's idol. You ever share Joe Holley's method?
