Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

January 23, 2006 | 2006 NAMM Update

Pictures of NAMM offerings posted at the world's best source of mandolin information, the MandolinCafe.com. Read up on the cool mando gear we've posted in this thread:

Read

Paris Swing has swung; three Gypsy treats and a John Jorgenson model out very soon. Rigel's new prototype was their with a new crunch, yet another departure for the company willing to embrace departure.

Biggest surprise, the new Gibson "Gold Rush," a totally unexpected pleasure. Tom Montgomery has a winner here. (And we thought Gibson had abandoned us jazz aficionados...) This ain't your Daddy's Gibson, Elroy!

Most promising news for us mortals, the new Alvarez mid-line mandolins. It's great to see one of the world's best fretted instrument companies address the needs of us 8-stringers. These dudes got it right, and priced for the working musician and serious hobbyist. Thanks for thinking of us, Ray Meisenzahl!

Love ya, man!
