PS: And Swanee, I agree, the jazz players are often overlooked. What about Freddie Green; - am I alone in thinking that rhythm guitar gets ignored? [/quote]
oh man, you are talking my language now! Freddie Green was arguably the greatest rhythm swing player ever. Never played a solo, never plugged in, never drew attention to himself..but that dude's archtop playing was secind to none. And he was Billie Holliday's late night back door squeeze; talk about a legend!
Unfortunately you are correct about rhythm guitar being ignored, especially jazz. I doubt Freddie would make Rolling Stone's top 10,000 list, much less top 100

"If you are stuck in your musical composing, be unreasonable. Change your environment. If you are stuck in your lyrical efforts, instead of forcing the same old words out, force yourself to do unreasonable things." -Brian Austin Whitney
