Biblioteca de la Guitarra y Cuerda Pulsada

Rene Thomas is maybe not the first Jazz guitarist to come up in a conversation, but his very melodic and strong bebop inspired jazz lines are very much worth checking out. The Rene Thomas Guitar Legacy includes sideman gigs with Stan Getz, Sonny Rollins and Chet Baker. Besides that he recorded several albums under his own name. The excerpts in this video are form his first US album "Guitar Groove" an album that features Rene Thomas and saxophonist Bobby Jaspar with whom he recorded and worked very frequently. The story goes that Stan Getz heard a trio with Rene Thomas once in London and hired the band on the spot.

If you want to check out some other performances then I have a short playlist of videos here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWcRt... Especially the solo on Oleo is burning!
