I learned the power of the Internet very fast.
I first got online in '98(at work)...I went onto some Jazz BB blabbing about how great
Live in Koln was & soon after received an e-mail from Steve Khan, ya know, wanting to know where I picked up this 3-disc set. Gulp.
I love Khan's guitar playing...he's able to leave a lotta room for the bassist because of his voicings(his "Chord Khancepts")...Khan eschews use the "E" or "A" for chords, as a result, the chords are slightly ambiguous & airy. The bassist's note choice carries a lotta weight.
On the otherhand, I usually get stuck with the boneheads that like playing everything in Root position.
