Lenny Breau - Our Delight

Lenny Breau - Our Delight track 3 (side A #3) from his album "The Legendary Lenny Breau ... Now!" from the liner notes: "Rumors, interviews, and an occasional live appearance have kept the legend alive for 10 years. His two RCA albums have become collectors items commanding a high price when they can be found. And now... the Little Gypsy reappears. The legend is not a myth. Lenny must be the only player who takes requests at a session. He always seems to know where the music is headed and he rides it all the way. On OUR DELIGHT and I LOVE YOU, Lenny duets with himself. It's the perfect pairing since only Lenny knows what Lenny will do next. The magic is in the music. Listen to Lenny Breau... Now!" 1978 Soundhole Records Found this additional info on this album, too cool...

Following the initial Adelphi release was The Legendary Lenny Breau... Now! (Sound Hole, P.O. Box 120355, Nashville, TN 37212) recorded in the fall of 1977 and 1978 in Chet Atkins' basement. Atkins, an ardent friend and fan, recalls, "Yeah, I hung out with Lenny a lot and he would come here to the office and visit every day or so. So when I could catch him, when he was in good shape, I'd just take him out there and let him do a side or two and that's how that album happened. Sometimes he was in good shape and sometimes he wasn't. You know, sometimes he'd had a drink or sometimes he'd had a drug of some kind." Whereas the Adelphi sessions give you a look at Breau as if you were hearing an impromptu solo performance, the Sound Hole recordings are more polished. Breau is allowed the luxury of time and multiple tracks, turning tunes like Tadd Dameron's "Our Delight" into the listener's delight. Solowise, there's a reworking of "Freight Train"and two McCoy Tyner tunes. Mel Bay Publications (Pacific, MO 63069-0066) has released an instructional book and cassette tape entitled "Lenny Breau Fingerstyle Jazz" (MB 93972) which, among other things, explains Breau's harmonic technique and transcribes "Freight Train" from Legendary Lenny Breau plus the title tune and ''Little Blues'' from Five O'Clock Bells. On the cassette, we are treated to Breau's personal explanation of the material to guitarist John Knowles." ... and another great page with other liner notes & comments by Lenny's contemporaries: https://jazzprofiles.blogspot.com/201...
