Tonight... well, actually, last night now...The Joe Potenza Quartet at Aspire....of course, Joe Potenza hosting, creating amazing sounds on that beautiful seven string bass. Gino Rosati was swiningin' on that fine Gibson "violin". Rick Costa scufflin' out some rythym with the brushes on drums and Tish Adams' swingin' vocals. Also got a chance to see Lee MacDowell sit in with a beautiful Rob Allen custom bass.
First time I've seen Tish Adams sing. Wow! What a treat that was. I can't wait 'til the summer to hear her sing outside, where she can 'let it rip', a little.
So now you're asking...what the heck's a Gibson violin? If you don't know, then you've never enjoyed watching Gino play.....truly a pleasure. For all you jazz guitar guys, if you haven't seen Gino play, you need to put it on your list.
For all the players out ther working on trying to figure out how to play the music that you're visualizing, what you're 'feeling' in your head, check out this link. Hal Galper explains that the instrument is the illusion....and where the music really comes from.
