If I'm not mistaken, this song is dedicated to Lenny Breau. 

Frank Boyle

Great album still have it. 1 of my favorites from it. I mean Gatton with Hargrove , Watson , Redman , and others in the jazz world great combination. 1 of the greatest guitar player's of all time. A style all his own. Have every recording some twice. Bummer he left us way too soon.

Storyboard Dave

I don't know who they are either

Eddie Clayton

What about Jimi Hendrix though? did he not take it where it never went? or Yngvie? or Vinnie Moore? or Jerry Reed or Chet? Their all great players, and Chet for thumb pickin is one of the smoothest ever. and Scotty Anderson, check out "Are you from Dixie" amazing speed and thumb pickin. I guess it boils down to who you like hearing the most. and for me, Gatton is definitely at the top.

Eddie Clayton

it's apples and oranges my friends. You can't compare Danny to Brad Paisley, really? that's like comparing Eddie Van Halen to Yngvie. Danny is in a class of his own, all by himself right to then end unfortunately. The man obviously and without a doubt took the instrument to places it has rarely ever gone before or will ever go again. You can't put down good players just because Danny ate their lunch. As far as improvising and playing off the cuff, obviously one of the greatest.

So good. Gone too soon. There was a whole new Danny coming out. Wade Matthews and Tim Eyerman as well. I miss those guys.

When I first heard 'Five String Blues' by Roy Buchanan I thought that I was listening to the most expressive use of a Wah Wah pedal ever. I then discovered that Roy had got these emotionally charged sounds by expertly manipulating the tone control on his Tele as he played !

PreactorTunes

If it's not a Tele on this track, DG was known to have played a 50's era gold-top Gibson ES-295. He remains the undisputed Master of the Telecaster! Brent & Brad would have been humbled just to change his strings....

Tim Hitt

too bad danny gatton lenny breau and roy buchanan all had to leave so soon lucky they left such extraordinary music behind

TheHumbuckerboy

I tend to envisage Danny using the neck pick-up (perhaps a hot-rail or similar ) on a Tele for this song but he also played various other models during his career .I love the tone ,the playing and the song whatever he may have used !

Of course the easy guess is a tele...it sure does sound like it...it has a twang to it...maybe i am mistaken.

Damn you Danny....you had so much more to give us...RIP....Genius in the first order!

Very few guitarists can fit into any situation comfortably. This guy was the exception. Multi-directional and with the imagination of a genius. But as with all geniuses, he was in torment.

TheHumbuckerboy

Does anyone know for sure what guitar Danny used during this recording ?

John Ehrhart

Jeezuzz louizuzz and holey von schmoley - this guy has an incredible musical mind - beautiful jazz composition, and great musicians.

GeorgiaBoy1961

I wish Danny had done more straight-ahead jazz sessions like this one; he sounds entirely at home and at ease among the jazz cats. This is a masterful tribute to Lenny, another musical genius who left us too early... Modes9, I'm with you... I am enjoying Danny's comping as much as his solo work. Amazing how much better Danny sounds playing with world-class players than with the usual crew. That's no slag on his normal crew; just good to hear him in a different setting.
