Lester Leaps In

Here's a link to my trio playing this classic Lester Young tune. Note that I'm using the Supro Delta King 12 amp, which I was encouraged to acquire by the gang on this forum. I hope you all enjoy it--

Fun version - good for dancin' too, I'll wager.
Nice. so you guys moved over to the archtops completely?
It depends on the gig. If it's an unplugged gig (a rare treasure these days), we use the manouche guitars. If it's 2 guitars & bass and amplified (as most of my gigs are), it's archtops. But recently I've been doing a lot of trio gigs with violin/guitar/upright, and on those I play the Altamira, even if it's amplified. Are you sorry you asked?!
As long as it swings.
