TOMMY TEDESCO, "QUIET NIGHT OF QUIET STARS"



Just a couple thoughts about this recording of the incomparable Tommy Tedesco.

1. It seems a little crass to describe what Laurindo Almeida does here as "rhythm guitar," although I suppose it is that.

2. There was a time when something like this was considered background music, or elevator music. If they played music like this in elevators now, I'd never get out of the damn elevator. I believe I'd be willing to live in one.

3. Nice shot of Tommy sitting next to Carol Kaye.

    move over in that elevator, pal. I'm bringing my sleeping bag.

    If you're packing, I'd also recommend some corn chips and hand sanitizer.
