Probably the best jazz tone I’ve heard from a Stratocaster.

[@kevintownsend3840]

I agree 💯 % that tone is usually a hollow body 335 or the L5 Gibson or Ibanez for us poor people

I once put GHS Pat Martino strings on my Squier Strat. They're 15's. Sounded pretty good.

Ed Bickert got such a great sound from a Tele, so it can be done.

Great playing by everyone. I had never heard of Brian Levy but he's really good! I thought he sounded like Dexter Gordon at first but he's got his own thing going on for sure.

Absolutely wonderful!!Everyone listening!!!!Cecil a master !What is the Medallion on the Drummers shell Tom?His brush work and interplay with the Bassist during their short solo exchanges was outstanding!!Thank u for Posting this as I have had the good fortune to see and hear Cecil working with the Christian Scott group recently…Grant Green is smiling!!

[@kevintownsend3840]

Absolutely beautiful 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

When is the CD for this coming out? Love it. These cats are swingin' it to the max. Cecil is on my top fav young jazz guitarists that's carrying the torch for traditional bebop . The bass player's expressions just shows how much he is enjoying this.

Wonderful! Swings like crazy. Great solos!

Cecil on fire!

[@davidbaise5137]

Thanks for posting…. Very enjoyable. You sure play a lot of notes.

[@integralsonic]

the more I listen to your playing the more experimental it sounds. always rooted in the feel of the time, always floating, the way an idea moves and carves out its own conceptual, meta-linear, creatively reverse-engineered post-bop processed texture {think Bergonzi as a model for how one could rigorously re-theorize jazz from a modular point of view that scrambles quasi-syntax-line-logics / time logics into some sort of machinic assemblage} itself imposed against some other substitute language of some other band member who likely has an entirely different conception of how this whole thing works, resulting in what is sometimes called 'chemistry'.

I listened to all 8 choruses the sax played. For me that’s unusual.

[@cobyup10]

His tone and phrasing are amazing. Really makes you tune in and keeps your interest

[@giampierorusso607]

Very good.!!!!👏👏👏👏👍.!!

[@EnoqueRamos-gk7wi]

Diferente

[@Prometheus147]

Cecil's solo 🔥, Cecil's face 😐

[@chrisc102]

great playing, ty for posting! but for me the wandering video frame makes this very hard to watch.

[@steverangihuna4965]

Cecil is on a different level than these guys.

[@davidbaise5137]

One thought is that there are fewer and fewer opportunities to play in public. That may foster a tendency to “overdetermine” (😂lol, a college word!) the music. But 🤷‍♂️, For all I know the leader may be playing standard, song form jazz six nights a week.
