Back to Back--Jethro Burns and Tiny Moore

[StuartE]

Title song, a Wes Montgomery tune, from the 1979 album by Jethro Burns and Tiny Moore. Eldon Shamblin of Texas Playboy's fame on guitar.



David Grisman re-issued it in a 2-disc set in 2005. It's is available for purchase or download.

Great stuff.

Bought it on LP, back in the day . Martin S had Cd disc 2

BTW, the correct title for the tune is "Bock to Bock." It's named for Richard Bock, the president of Pacific Jazz, but it is often called "Back to Back."

I heard what happened is when Wes announced the name, they wrote it down wrong. He later did a version for Riverside (amazing solos on that one) and they still called it wrong. On the Riverside box set they corrected it.

The Wes versions are good, including some out takes on the Riverside box set. These are in Dbm, proving that to Wes, key was no obstacle!

db minor is a strange designation. That would be eight flats in notation. Why not c# minor? (On googling I found a transcription without key signature, with lots of flats. I couldn't read it).
