Lukather & Carlton: Put It Where You Want It

Two old guys prove they haven’t forgotten where to put it at all. This is a song made famous by studio guitar uber-genius Larry Carlton when he was with The Crusaders back in the Seventies. And some additional spice is added by Toto’s guitar wizard, Steve Lukather. Mix in a cool bass solo and you’ve [...]

Larry Carlton: Classic Guitar Leads

Live from 1988, Carlton plays some of his most famous lead work, including Hill St. Blues, Kid Charlemagne (Steely Dan), Don’t Take Me Alive (Steely Dan) and Put It Where You Want It (Crusaders). Looks like Nile Rodgers on bass. A short clinic from the master.

Rippingtons: Tourist In Paradise

Very hot closing song from the Ripps’ album, Live in L.A. Features guest pianist David Benoit joining the band. With smokin’ little vocalese riffs by Phil Perry, it builds to a powerful crescendo at the end.

Rippingtons: Indian Summer

As always, the band is anchored by the rock-solid guitar work of Russ Freeman. Enjoy the synth-guitar and synth-woodwind (Ewi) duets with Freeman and Jeff Kashiwa…but be sure not to miss the nasty little guitar solo starting at around 1:45. From their album, Live in L.A.

Rippingtons: Dream Of The Sirens

Ignore the hairstyles. Instead, just bask in possibly the best song ever from one of the great bands of the last 30 years. The audio quality isn’t great here…you should own the album (”Live in L.A.”). Russ Freeman is one of the most precise and creative guitarists you’ll ever hear, and Jeff Kashiwa burns it [...]

Benny Goodman: Sing, Sing, Sing

Over 50 years after it was filmed, this is still a stunningly cool piece of music. Featuring Gene Krupa on the drums, and Harry James on the trumpet solo…and, of course, Benny Goodman himself on the clarinet.
