Re: The Style of Buddy DeFranco

Thanks for posting the list - and for the work you put into the text. It made for a fun departure from my normal listening list and prompted me to dig out my singular Buddy album (and visit YouTube for more). It was a great time, and while the style isn't my cup of tea - I came away with a better appreciation for Buddy than I had before.

I must admit to a lack of understanding/knowledge/appreciation pertaining to bebop and other "modern" forms of jazz - past my high school and college jazz band education.

However, I at first wondered whether the list was in jest.

For instance, Buddy plays with a very nice vibrato, and plays all sorts of wonderful rhythms (which I wouldn't classify as "even eighth notes.") Could someone help me understand this description? I haven't been able to find good examples of it in my searches.

A few of the items in the list made me chuckle (#9 and #14).

Do you know if this list was made up for a specific song/album etc. or was it meant to apply to Buddy's work more broadly?

Thanks again,
Fuzzy
