I hadn't heard Tiny Grimes in many years and had actually forgotten his name! So I Googled "4 string guitar players 1940s" and his name popped up! What a wonderful musician!
Indeed you're hearing *a* room... Just not that one! His shoulder strap... That'd really hurt after a while as them gibson electric tenors are not light!
@@LordoftheBadgers He's using a saxophone strap modified to work on his guitar. There is a strap screwed to the upper f-hole that can be seen in some period photos
GOT A L L OF HIS LPS. Bout 20, 30 incl tge sessions. The king of tenor gt, very much 4gotten despite significance. The french lbl Black and Blue recorded released lots of lps by him. 2 bad success never came though started w Tatum ...
I hate to spoil the moment, but something about this video gives me off vibes... It's something in his smile and the audience's throughout the beginning of the video
I think it's just a cultural thing, back then show business was all about putting on a smile and being happy, it just looks a bit fake to our sensibility, not sure when more dark themes would have creeped into mainstream media, prob the seventies, with Vietnam happening, but then you had the Doors which for all intents were a pop group in the mid sixties. Maybe Dylan but then he wasn't really pop, certainly mainstream but the whole folk thing had a different aesthetic. Interesting stuff to think abou!
