I really like the jazz guitar trio, but would also like to see some kind of Freddie Green and/or Western Swing setup.
The Gypsy Jazz option seems a bit staccato for me. I was expecting more of a long-short-long-short strum pattern that could double for Western swing. Would like to hear the bass ring a little more, and the guitar strums just a little broader—even on Freddie Green style chunk-chunks.
As a clarinet player, I prefer guitar accompaniment, and the tone on your guitar trio option is very tasty. Would just like to have a couple more options—particularly with Freddie Green voicing and tessitura.
While you’re at it just channel Bucky & John Pizzarelli!
