Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

Mija this is really cool. Im so glad you sent this. How did you hear about this. love how many of these suggestions are ones I would never find on my own

It is, isn't it? I Stumbled upon an interview of the sax player/band leader with some musical inserts, really liked the sound, went and found this album.

Like this Mija, Kabul is very Coltrane-esque!

What beautiful sharing Linda ! And what a beautiful dream !
You dream have so beautiful inspiration , i remember last time my dream have so inspiration is , ‘ I walking into a colorful ice cream town , everything made by ice cream ! now i want , if have any chance can walking by this cute town again , wish can add this Almost Like Being Love into that dream ...

I love Ella!

Look for Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme explains Jazz at the Grammys... video from Instagram!
Amazing!

Tomo

I love it! Plus, we have again managed to weave food into this thread! Have a great weekend.

Holy moly, just went and watched that. What an amazing moment. Now THAT will be ringing in my ears tonight!

The Queen & King of jazz scat! Awesome Tomo!

Thanks Ken! Those guys can really play those big guitars.
Very inspiring.
Kurt

Good ear training!

This is very soulful! Thanks Linda!
Yes, my guitar(s) will sound great if I keep going with the help of Tomo and all my friends here!
Kurt

For some reason , The video is unavailable , actually is almost Music album video from the thread Jazz listener thread is unavailable .. Someone know what happen ?

I noticed this too, Jiayang. I would copy and paste the link into a new browser. It appears to be working today, though.

Yes!

"Let's keep going!"

Jiayang, perhaps it's a browser issue? Thanks for your perseverance.

Thank you (and your Karate instructor) for exposing me to this great music Tomo.
I love the clean tone and playing. It does sound like a singer singing and telling a story.
Drummer is always really adding to the conversation and Bass solo is very cool too.
Love when I find out about new music.
Have a great day!
Kurt

What a great artist. Your karate instructor was a great teacher on so many levels.

You're very welcome Kurt! I am so thankful!

Great band, musical conversation indeed!

Have a great day! Thank you.

Tomo

Thank you Linda.

My Karate teacher had a lot of passion on guitar & jazz.

Only 3 60 minites cassette tapes really changed my life.

Yes!

Tomo

I suspect that you also had a big influence on him. Maybe he tells Tomo stories to his friends these days.

Oh so nice. Great discovery, Clay. Looks like Mark is still a relatively young guy and still thriving.

Thanks Clay!
I love the way he solos. Really keeps you interested in hearing where he goes next as he covers ground.
That repeating octave(?) thing he does at 3:36 is cool.

Something or someone would get hurt if I jumped in the air holding my big guitar like he does in the picture :-)
Kurt

Same here Kurt. Linda - his son is about the same age now as he was when this was released - he's a drummer coming up in the jazz scene.

Good one clay. Great addition

I love this!

So good!

Fun chord progression & great guitar fills.

Thanks for sharing.

Tomo

What a cool album. Van Morrison is just drenched in soulful sound. This is why we play music.

Like wind through the wheat field , then the plant is dancing — “ Da Da Da Da ” , Thank you Kurt ,
This is so Beautiful !

jiayang, your words are always so beautiful. I always enjoy your posts.

So happy that , Linda ! There is so grateful that we are here and sharing our life .
And much happiness spark gift !
That's why we play music !

Wow. Thank you so much Tomo for sharing. Love this. And never heard before. I have been listening to breezin’ album. Not sure why but the feeling I have listening to this is similar. Maybe there is some space between playing that draws me in listening and then you are along for the ride or flight. I listen to Teasin’ a lot too you shared with us earlier. Boston flight!

Totally new to me. Great sound and jamming!
I love the 1970's!
Thanks, Tomo!
Kurt

Nice! Totally agree with Jeffrey on the Breezin' call - I definitely get that feeling. I like the volume swell in the beginning that sounds like lap steel, and the unresolved ending.

Beautiful, Tomo. Great sound. I will try to listen to the entire album.

You're very welcome guys!

Glad you guys are enjoying it!

Tomo

I really like this!
5/8!
This is super cool. So clean!
Takes you on a little trip!
Thanks Clay!
Kurt
