This sounds like a conventional guitar trio at the outset. At around 3:20 they turn up the steam a bit. Ron Escheté begins playing single note lines, Kendall Kay switches to sticks and Todd Johnson begins adding chords to his six-string bass line accompaniment. After the drummer's interludes, Ron seamlessly begins playing the bass lines (with no drop-off in sound or groove) and chords on his 7-string guitar as he accompanies Todd's bass solo. This trio is much greater than the sum of its parts. I treasure my autographed copy of the DVD -Thanks, Ron!
This is a storming performance. He builds it up (and up and up) with such effortless precision. The single note blues phrase at 3:24 that takes us into his single note improvisations, best captures his musical intent. He suspends the time he's been so perfectly keeping up till now. Its mean and simple - he wants it to hurt a bit. that's what i love most about this guy: he's super-sophisticated (the chordal improvisation that leads up to 3:24 is a masterclass in chordal playing the equal of any driving chordal passage to be found in joe pass) - but he's even dirtier than he is sophisticated. I can hear louisiana in every line. this is serious modern blues - seriously modern southern blues. and what a great and historic tune.
Been listening to Ron since 1985 and watched him play with Gene Harris. As a guitarist I used to think he was playing too main stream but he always surprised me at some point in his solos with how big an ear he had. These clips show his mastery of the genre. He makes it look easy but it isn't .
Todd Johnson plays some amazing chord melody on bass and Ron plays bass on the seven string. Kendal Kay always plays in the pocket. I miss going to Steamers and seeing Ron and the trio.
tasty. swings like hell (my kind of sound) I like how he plays a lick and checks out the listeners with a 'did you hear that?' look. This ol' boy ain't from New England.
RON ESCHETE a publié un "ouvrage pédagogique" remarquable" à tous les points de vue en 1980 " , intitulé "The JAZZ GUITAR" (a professional guide to jazz concepts for guitar soloing), publié par l'éditeur "LUCKY 1 MUSIC PUBLISHER". Je le conseille vivement aux jeunes guitaristes apprentis en jazz.

This is my morning warm-up song.
Ron is my favorite chord style guitarist. Love his voicings!
Great group! And jazz guitar at its finest!

You got it right, individual monsters, a musical tour de force together, wicked good, :~}
This what it’s all about !. Absolutely Marvellous !. Great playing from all here. I loved Ron’s work with Gene Harris too. Brilliant !.
Ron is my favorite living jazz guitarist save perhaps George Benson who I like as much but differently.

Another great performance from Mr. Eschete.
Benson calls Ron a Heavy Cat, takes one to know one !!
Very cool , thanks , I saved that one to listen to again .
Love the tone of his guitar
Bravo! Great playing!
What a player. I love his tone.

Ron is such a great performer and a masterful guitarist. Really awesome on his recordings with Gene Harris too
I saw Him at Steamers in Fullerton ca in the late 90s,impressive player had a blast.
Absolutely fabulous guitar playing and the other guys too.
Ron earned those notes he's playing !
Todd Johnson plays some amazing chord melody on bass and Ron plays bass on the seven string. Kendal Kay always plays in the pocket. I miss going to Steamers and seeing Ron and the trio.

Go Ron!
saya suka musik ron eschete (from jakarta)
So damn good !!
Oh man, that's so great and swinging!!
Beautiful playing!
I knew Todd was playing bass but I couldn't see him until the bass solo
Ronnie & Kendall taring it to pieces!!
Very nice!
Saw Ron in LA some 4 years ago. Awesome guitarist, not much of a showman. To me, the typical musicians’ musician.
Great!
NICE !!!
What semi-hollow he's playing?
Capturing this impressive group is a blessing, you done good, is Emily posted?
Where is this filmed? Looks like back of some ones garage ! ?

I see the bridge starts on Dmin and goes to Amin then drops down from Dmin to Cmin and then is that Bflat major and then turn around back to F????
My guess: Dm | A7 | Dm | BbMaj | Dm Fm | Bm7 E7 | Am7 D7 | Gm7 C7
I see that this guy sound Lenny Breau at the start
Where's Todd ???
Best bass solo ever right after Ron's... best trio ever!!! :~}
Rons the man!!!!! any where -@ anytime -with any body. Mort Weiss SMS JAZZ "The Mort Report" @ All About Jazz
