After five months of unadulterated jazz on this channel, lets spice things up a bit with guitarist extraordinaire Larry Carlton, aka "Mr 335". Larry is one of the most in demand session guitarists in the business, his tasteful lines having graced hundrends of albums, Steely Dan's, Joni Mitchell's, Billy Joel's and Quincy Jones' among them. His amazing guitar solo on Steely Dan's "Kid Charlemagne" from their 1976 LP "Royal Scam" is voted by Billboard as the third best solo in rock! In this set of vids Larry is caught live in Paris in 2004 with his outfit of late, hard blowing Sapphire Blues Band, a combination guaranteed to tear the house down . This time, Larry switches to his trusted Gibson 335 for a blues, "Just An Excuse".
