No, only YOU don't care. These 3 old guys are better guitar players than your favorite rock star vou ever dream of. So is the Frenchman on the Telecaster. They know more than power chords and loud amps with the latest distortion pedal. This is talent. It's obviously the first time you've actually seen real talent, so you didn't recognize it.

A great performance with many Big, world-famous in a fascinating "performance" that so much appeals to all those fans of this musical genre that never sets. Excellent performances were all the artists, in particular Herb Ellis and Buchy Pizzarelli. Congratulations. c. castellano, Italy
Mundel Lowe has some nice licks too. Too bad he's not mentioned. He's the one in the dark framed glasses with the blonde guitar. I guess he has changed his name to ETC. The first three players are now jamming at that big auditorium in the sky. What great musicians they were. Probably Joe Pass, Barney, Charlie Christian, and Django will join in.
Boy that's a sweet sounding Tele. Never heard Mundell Lowe, though I knew the name. What a killer. Herb Ellis, legendary as ever. Bucky F'in Pizzarelli, whose genes helped create John, who is my favorite. Joyous music.
our pep bank played this during warm up at basketball games. We had some players who could do some Globetrotter stuff, so we had to use it!!! It must have worked - there are 8 Div II championship trophies on display! (Kentucky Wesleyan College)
I think it was Bucky Pizzarelli, at 3:10 ... his solo completely changed the game, ending his solo at the most intense dynamic. He kind of turned it into a "cutting session" for a bit. The violinist knew what was up and used Bucky's licks keeping that intensity for one chorus, kind of cooling off with a sweet little lick for his second chorus and building up to the end. I really digged that solo and dynamic flow. Check out the bassist and the guitarist exchange glances at 5:23, indicating to the bassist it was his turn next. He starts wiping his brow and it looks like he's summoning the beast that's about to come out of him, because that bass solo is what really hit me hard, he doesn't have the volume so he utilizes rhythmic intensity and the high range on a 6 string fretless bass. Incredibly sophisticated lines which take incredible technique to articulate on the bass, especially fretless. Then he cooled it back down all sly like nothing happened lol. Killer.
What is the coolest to me is the guy playing a Tele with these GIANTS! And I've seen Herb Ellis and Barney Kessel up close. Great video. How's that fiddle too?!?!
I had pleasure of meeting Herb a couple of times while living in the Los Angeles area, late fifties and early sixties .....a really nice guy with a good sense of humor....I can only imagine what he was thinking when he was watching Bucky. Mundel was laidback and a very good guitarist...I would have liked to been there this was taking place.
Ecay outshined everyone else, his lines, played in the moment, had incredible flow and content. I get Warne Marsh (tenor player with Lennie Tristano) vibes listening to his phrasing and content. A+
Great playing by the older Americans. Bucky is insanely good, rockin the rhythm thoughout. Didier is fine on fiddle. Who's the Tele player? The 6 sting fretless bass Alain Caron, and the drummer all good, too. A Franco-American-Canadien union of the best sort. :)
Bitchin'! The only way that you can tell the French-Canadian Western Swing Players from the American Jazzers is by how they're dressed. (Having Bucky, Herb, and Mundy on the same stage at the same time is pure Guitar Pornography, and the Pony-tail Guy on the Telly is absolutely worthy to be in their company, and, apparently, has Balls of Steel.)
