❤thanks 🎉😊

I knew George personally and need to share that as a human being, he was the most kind, gentle and humble man I have known in my 81 years on God’s Green Earth.

[@rosemarysmith5991]

Thank you for sharing, Mr. Hutchinson. I had not heard George Van Eps music before today and am having a delightful time listening to his albums on youtube. I hope you have a wonderful day, all the best.

This is my favourite George Van Eps album that I've heard (so far). Thanks for posting it up. I love a good solo guitar album but so many jazz guitarists are just too damn busy - too many notes, not even a nanosecond of space left between them. GVE leaves space, is not afraid to let chords hang. He certainly squeezes plenty of notes and ideas in but he always has a lightness of touch here. This strikes me as an album to file next to Grant Green's 'Idle Moments' or perhaps Joe Pass's untypical-for-him 'Virtuoso 3' album. I can imagine returning to this one many times.

I promise you his style will live on

[@RonZabrocki]

I got here backwards! Kurt Rosenwinkel mentioned his book. Joe Pass was like him but on steroids. One of my 1st teachers studied under GVE. His name was Alan DeMause. And now I finally listen...what a monster! Thank you for posting this.

Got here because of youtube algorithm.. Lucky!

[@oneloveSURFISTA]

I got here backwards too. I found Tim Lerch on the internet, then from him I learned about Ted Greene, and after listening to the interview Ted did with George I got curious and ended here.

[@wichitarick]

@@oneloveSURFISTA lol Yes me too,sort of, I was given a friends album collection with his passing r.i.p. & knew of many of the names even sounds of great guitarists(besides rock & roll:) ) I hear A LOT of style of sounds, & save many things just for the deep vibe they connect with! and finally slowed down enough to truly listen to him! & he has it BIG TIME! This is also the one time I don't mind the algorithm or power of google :) Keep jammin .Peace Takes Practice" Rick

I'm 62years old guitar aficionado. I studied jazz guitar from Alan DeMause's instruction book for beginners! I leaned a lot from that book😊

[@donsimons9810]

Joe Pass is Van Eps on caffeine, which is different. Van Eps is more sophisticated. Ted Greene dwarfs them both, but he was in the opinion of many the best ever.

Thank you for uploading this, Love Theme For Jo is home to me now. I wish there is a higher-quality source, hopefully one day I'll get one.

[@James523001]

Excellent. Brilliant and tasteful.

[@BernieHolland-w4l]

My thoughts too !

[@gabri3l367]

Great music

[@patrickoakes8014]

Thank you so much for uploading this

[@charlescorazao147]

Very talented, I love it

[@michaelhutchinson9413]

George’s best album in my opinion is “ Mellow Guitar “ on Columbia. 1957. It is on KZbin. My favorite track is “Yesterdays “ Enjoy 😅

[@BernieHolland-w4l]

What a wonderful musician - in the real sense of the word - I wonder if he is of Dutch ancestry ?

[@alphacentauri8083]

Probably, or Belgium.

[@gwdaugherty8709]

Released in 1969

[@donsimons9810]

why so many ads? Is that YT’s doing? Didn’t think this channel was even monetized yet

[@mackw3363]

Hi, I'm not monetising any of the videos on my channel. If you are getting ads, perhaps the audio has been claimed by rights holders.

[@simonfivez2947]

How come this has only ten views??? I got here from Ted Greene

[@mackw3363]

just uploaded last week, i had to hunt to the depths of the internet to find this so i figured id make it more accessible. I found out about George through Ted too! Love them both!

[@simonfivez2947]

@@mackw3363 Thanks for the answer! Am just getting into George - your upload being my first listen - , but starting to love it aswell! Those solo guitarists man - especially Ted, my all time favourite - they're the best!

[@heideggerdowson]

I can hear where George Benson got his sound

[@theirritatedirishman5440]

Van Epps has a much more bigger warmer with a hint resonance to it than Benson’s sound is cleaner as Ms a little brighter.

[@jpwjr1199]

@@theirritatedirishman5440 true on all counts, but OP's correct that there's clearly an influence there on Benson's playing
