Jonathan Stout - "Pennies from Heaven" - 1932 Gibson L-5

I picked up a @uaudio Volt276 after my long serving Scarlett 2i2 finally bit the dust, and here’s my first video experimenting with the on board 610 preamp and 1176 compressor settings. The rhythm track was my 1939 L-5, while I’m playing my 1932 L-5 for melody track. All captured with a @ribbonmics R84A. As usual there’s no EQ needed, just added a little bit more compression and some reverb.

This style of Chord-melody playing and soloing is my own version of the playing of Allan Reuss, who played with Benny Goodman from 1935-1938 before going onto play with many of the best big bands and combos of the 30's and 40's, before settling into studio work in the late 40's. While there are scant resources for this style of playing, the THIRD volume of my DC-Music School Course is one of best places to start. It contains transcriptions of my improvisations in the Reuss-style over standard tunes, using all of the classic Reuss vocabulary and techniques.
