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."

March 5, 2008 | Fletcher Brock 5-string

Some pics of a very cool 5-string Fletcher Brock mandolin sent to us by virtuoso jazz picker Bryce Milano. Bryce's latest incarnation is with some Philadelphia music veterans in the ensemble Beau Django, a four piece acoustic string band that features traditional gypsy jazz music.

Crafted by Pacific Northwest builder Fletcher Brock, the Archtop Jazz Mando 5-string is actually the artist's second custom instrument from this world-class craftsman. Some amazing shots:
