As a lifelong guitar wanker,(hopeless student) many genres grab my attention. Jazz is one of therm.Random clip of some "average "player "auditioning" for Merv Griffin during his early years.
The musicians/player/ hobbyist will get a kick out this one. Merv picks a songbook standard.Bandleader calls the key of some standard...GET IN THE POCKET....then SOLO!
I can only wish for 1/100th of musical brain that JH had!Who didn't play/sing with Jim Hall? I wasnt aware Merv could throw down on the keys?
I just remember the bad plaid suits of the 70's.
