what a melodist! Catherine leaves no place to " chatter", or any kinda of technical esbrouffe, he just plays music like he talks, gently, lovely, always trying to express beauty and magic out of his soul
Ce mec a un sens de la mélodie qui me parle vraiment. Sans doute cette petite touche de jazz manouche qui donne de la chaleur et de l'humanité à son jazz.

thanks for posting - he's got an amazing tone and refreshingly not afraid of a good bright picking attack ..unlike alot of modern cats who are amazing players but for some reason want their tone to sound like a cheap synth clarinet patch
@@olubibabalola : _ As a VEGANist, I’d say “burly”. _ Same with the late Larry Coryel and many others. Actually, I’m listening to Roland Kirk right now. He was 1 of the finest specimens. _ Hahaha … but, wait. We are talking about the left hand, right? Wes also used 0.14 s. His right-hand thumb is almost exclusively talked about, but IMO the strength and dexterity of his left hand is equally amazing, especially playing his signature block-chord melodies over those fat strings so effortlessly. Oh, and recently I was very much impressed with the guitar play and tone of Tony Petrucciani when he played duo with his son Michel. I can tell he must have studied Wes very well.
