[@BobDoherty]

Totally amazing. Your playing on that 7 string really creates a full sound for a duo. And of course McKenna is amazing.

[@PeteSmyser]

Thanks Bob!

[@daviteklescherer1799]

Couldn't agree more

[@PeteSmyser]

Thanks!

[@taylorrobertsguitarist]

This is so tasty. I'm ultra-partial to guitar and tenor duos. George Van Eps is smiling, friend. :)

[@PeteSmyser]

Thanks for posting the comment! I agree, there's something special about the way that the tenor sax and guitar blend and compliment one another in a duo setting (recordings by Joe Pass & Zoot Sims or Bucky Pizzarelli with Zoot Sims come to mind).

[@pamtebelman2321]

@@PeteSmyser I was just browsing KZbin after reading your comment and found a gem: Zoot Sims, Oscar Peterson, Joe Pass, Grady Tate playing "I Got Rhythm" on KZbin. Amazing, you would love it!

[@PeteSmyser]

That's great Pam! Those are all truly legendary talents worth listening to.

[@anthonythornhill8715]

Beautiful!

[@PeteSmyser]

Thanks Anthony!

[@pamtebelman2321]

Do you take requests? I'd love to hear you do 'I Cover The Waterfront."

[@PeteSmyser]

I won't promise it, but that's a great song. We'll see if that one makes into the production cue.

[@raulraygoza2851]

Thanks Geoff! So glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for subscribing.

[@harveyperleberg6459]

I made a comment before but I have to tell you that larry plays great but you sir are a great talent too, you reminded me of a man who introduced me to big band jazz when I was just a kid he played with woddy Hearman in the 40's his name was Bob Makatta he always told me when backing a soloist let him shine.then when you play people will take notice.you sir play great werther backing or solo.It has been my pleasure.

[@PeteSmyser]

Thank you Harvey. Yes, when accompanying someone as gifted as Larry McKenna, I certainly don't want to get in his way. By the way, I'm currently editing some new videos that will be added to my KZbin Channel sometime in the not-too-distant future. Two of the songs feature Larry McKenna! Please keep a look out for those, or better yet, subscribe to my channel (if you haven't already done so). Cheers!

[@jazzydog]
