Jazz at Razzs'
This past Friday evening I had the good fortune to see my buddy Mel Deal play some jazz with Lloyd Wells at Razzs' in Smyrna. Mel and Lloyd were both "on" Friday night and played some tasty tunes. We had a good crew too, and The Captain got his jazz cherry popped. They played cool enough stuff that even The Capt. later said he recognised a couple of the standard tunes.
Near as I can tell gear-wise, Mel played his gorgeous Gibson ES-150D through a funky hybrid chunk of tweed Fender amp with a 15 inch speaker. Lloyd was sporting his Gibson Super 400 seven-string through which-ever is the biggest Polytone amp.

Electric Spanish $150 w/EH 150 amp and cable. I can not tell from the picture but the originals had the Charlie Christian single pickup and the later ones had 2 humbuckers. I don't know about you guys but I LOVE the hollow bodies.....mellow
Sounds like a good way to spend an evening.......I have lots of fond memories seeing Larry Coryell play live at Pauls Mall or the Jazz workshop in Boston back in the 70's..... always loved the sound of a hollow body Gibson through a old Fender super reverb.....and the barefoot boy could play too..
