Hi Mike,
Johnny Almond is a British blues-rock alto/tenor sax player and flutist
who played in John Mayall's Bluebreakers Band; he later teamed up with
Bluesbreakers guitarist, Jon Mark, to form the Mark-Almond Band. If you
are into that kind of sound, check out Johnnys playing on Mayalls excellent
live recording, "The Turning Point" - very seductive and bluesy. Strong
performances and compositions on that record.
As for the guitarists, I don't think you would care for them as they
are hard rockers, very talented though. I have this thing for certain
type of tone and playing in rock, the player must be melodic and have
a full, "meaty" tone; the kind of tone one gets from Gibson guitars for instance. I've got to feel it in my bones!
Danny Gatton is a versatile player in country/rockabilly and blues; he also
made a nice strictly jazz record, "New York Stories".
I believe I've already recommended a rock guitarist to you, Eric Johnson,
called "The Master of Tone"; ironically he isn't one of my favorites, he
is a little too soft for me, but I believe you might like him - a phenomenal player with classical training and country influences.
If you get a chance to hear his "Ah Via Musicom", give it a listen, one
of the singles on it, "Cliffs Of Dover", was in the top ten of the pop
charts I believe.Musically Yours,
