About this image

Greg Nathan at Eugene, Oregon's Jazz Station. Summer, 2013. "Standing Out" is this picture's title. In bringing forward the CD, "I'll Think of Something," Nathan is trying to establish himself as one of jazz history's most talented jazz bassists, one in a class by himself, similar to so many bassists whose names can be found among the jazz-bass greats. On the other hand, Nathan, who is so much in debt to Denny for his support on this project, knows that the CD also presents a strong case for Denny's presence among the names of jazz history's guitar greats. Compare the talent of Nathan and Denny on this CD to other jazz bass and guitar duos. Perhaps there are a few duos that have recordings you might be able to say include as much. That Nathan considers this CD his life's work might be a good part of why. Edna, Nathan's wife (who is the artist that did the concerned CD's wonderful cover sketch,) would be fine if the success of "I'll Think of Something" turns out to be nothing more than a "one-hit wonder," but so far the success of the project's future is still up in the air. Nathan says, "I can handle being a one-hit wonder." Soaring Music Publications has only just begun to show why this CD deserves to be "Standing Out." Just carefully read the concerned CD's 12-page booklet, and try not to be entertained by listening to all of the music's program to know why we're associating these two with world-class talent. Scott Yanow, in his review of the concerned CD, has said Greg is "… an excellent jazz bassist," Mike is "...a world class guitarist," and "I'll Think of Something" is "...a fun set of excellent jazz." Sometime, you will probably be part of a conversation that gets around to naming the world's most talented jazz bass and guitar duos. When that happens, don't forget Nathan and Denny. These two have worked hard to be "Standing Out." For more information on this CD, please go to the following website address: http://soaringmusicpublications.com
