SteveO, I just bought that album then, all because of this thread
To add to the discussion, I'd like to show you guys this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bmXS7kpDRg
What the guy is using is actually called a "Jazzbo" mandolin. jazzboCR, is that perchance where you got your username?
Does anyone know why the mandolin doesn't have more of a presence in gypsy jazz? I think it would go very well in the mix! Or does it, and am I just not listening to the right people? I mean, I think electric mandolins are making more of a presence these days, even outside of gypsy stuff, but classically I guess. Does anyone know more awesome players?
