Subject: Re: jazz on lute
That's true
My point wasn't to show a extra quality - just that a lute (or in that
case a liuto forte) could do anything.
I went to the liuto-forte site. It has masses of texts/articles
And I personally like jazz being played on
lutes (or other non-electronic settings).
And who doesn't ; )
There were settings done of some ragtime standards ("Grizzly Bear" for
instance) and we enjoyed playing them as encore.
And the cooler stuff like John Evans (is this music still copyrighted?)
would work perfectly on baroque lute
All the best

I don't think there is anything here that couldn't be done just as well
(or
better) on a guitar. But sure, it looks cool, and perhaps there is a
timbre
or tone quality that could not be replicated on any guitar. (The sound
quality of YouTube does unfortunately not allow for such intricacies).
Anyway, IMO, in this setting the "lute" seems to be taken out of its
context. But who am I to say?
