Is that better or worse than them wearing cowboy hats?

HE IS JUST SUBLIME. NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY HE DIDN'T GET THE SAME RECOGNITION AS HENDRIX OR CLAPTON.

Listen carefully. Simply the most sublime mastery of guitar ever recorded...

i bought this album in high school because i was into guitar players and thought the cover looked cool - had no idea who he was or what type of music. I was basically an Allman Brothers junkie then. This album totally opened up my musical world with its jazz and funk influences. I played "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" for my college jazz professor who only knew the Mingus version....he was blown away!!

Just terrific. Beck always has had a jazz influence. I wonder if Mingus ever heard this version. I'm sure he would have liked it.

I learned to love this song when it first came out, with this version and on Rahsaan Roland Kirk's album The Return of the 5000 lb. Man (1975), and recently discovered the original on Charles Mingus Mingus Ah Um . All three versions are sublime. Then I picked up (really cheap) a box with 10 cds of the music of sax player Lester "Prez" Young, who inspired the Mingus composition. Lester was an amazing musician and the prototype of "cool." I had been wondering who he was for 35 years! Finally all the pieces come together. Thanks, Radio Paradise, for playing this.

This is simply the finest example of mastery of the electric guitar that I can think of.
There is so much subtle manipulation of the tonality and dynamics and absolute control of the instrument.
