Pete Smyser: 7 string guitar | www.smyser.com
Larry McKenna: tenor sax
Song - "Do Nothing Till You Hear from Me" (lyrics by Bob Russell / music by Duke Ellington). The 1943 jazz standard was originally an instrumental piece titled "Concerto for Cootie."
Pete Smyser plays an American Legend model guitar made by American Archtop Guitars | www.americanarchtop.com/
Larry & I were scheduled to perform one evening in the summer of 2016. I suggested to Larry that if he could come over a bit early, we could record some tracks. This is one of the songs.
Larry & I have recorded a number of times through the years. The first time was in the summer of 2000 on a CD titled Pete Smyser & Larry McKenna. A CD-R version is available through Amazon: www.amazon.com/Pete-Smyser-La...
Larry was a teacher of mine when I attended Temple University back in the mid 1980s! I feel very fortunate each time that I get the opportunity to perform with him. Larry McKenna is the REAL DEAL!

I made a comment before but I have to tell you that larry plays great but you sir are a great talent too, you reminded me of a man who introduced me to big band jazz when I was just a kid he played with woddy Hearman in the 40's his name was Bob Makatta he always told me when backing a soloist let him shine.then when you play people will take notice.you sir play great werther backing or solo.It has been my pleasure.

Thank you Harvey. Yes, when accompanying someone as gifted as Larry McKenna, I certainly don't want to get in his way. By the way, I'm currently editing some new videos that will be added to my KZfaq Channel sometime in the not-too-distant future. Two of the songs feature Larry McKenna! Please keep a look out for those, or better yet, subscribe to my channel (if you haven't already done so). Cheers!

This is so tasty. I'm ultra-partial to guitar and tenor duos. George Van Eps is smiling, friend. :)

@PeteSmyser 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks for posting the comment! I agree, there's something special about the way that the tenor sax and guitar blend and compliment one another in a duo setting (recordings by Joe Pass & Zoot Sims or Bucky Pizzarelli with Zoot Sims come to mind).

@@PeteSmyser I was just browsing KZfaq after reading your comment and found a gem: Zoot Sims, Oscar Peterson, Joe Pass, Grady Tate playing "I Got Rhythm" on KZfaq. Amazing, you would love it!

I won't promise it, but that's a great song. We'll see if that one makes into the production cue.
