As reviewed by GUITARIST'S FORUM at GFmusic. (Used with permission.): Guy's back with yet another great live album, this time with his longtime musical partner Billy Novick. Recording together since 1976, this new CD documents their milestone 30th Anniversary Concert in Washington DC, January 2006. Billy is a world class clarinet player, who has toured with David Bromberg, Leon Redbone, and Martha & the Vandellas. He can be heard in dozens of TV & movie soundtracks, including Lone Star, Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken, The Opposite of Sex, and Seabiscuit. Guy and Billy also teamed up on the theme songs of the popular PBS shows Antiques Roadshow and This Old House. The world's finest 2-man "Big Band," you'll be blown away by this CD. Billy's improvisations are unbeatable--melodic, elegant, and joyful. As for Guy, just re-read my "Live At Boulevard Music" CD review (you can find it here on Amazon). You know I think he's simply the best! There's just no other player who can do what he can--simultaneous bass, chords, melody, and improvisation--with as much style and taste! Recorded live at Washington DC's John E. Marlow Guitar Series, it's no surprise that each & every CD track features an extended, knockout fingerstyle guitar solo. In fact, this CD marks the premiere of Guy's incredible solo guitar treatment of the full verse and chorus of Stardust! To my ears, this track along is worth the cost of the CD. Also introduced here are virtuoso arrangements of Fats Waller's S'posin, WC Handy's St. Louis Blues, and Joplin's Easy Winners, plus fresh, new takes on some favorites from earlier CDs. Once Again--Our very highest recommendation! TRACKS: Rita's Song / S'posin / Wabash Blues / Sing Out / Stardust / Stompin' At The Savoy / St. Louis Blues / The Easy Winners / New Orleans Farewell / Caravan

Listener Reviews & Comments
Great CD! Two incredible musicians with the relaxed style and polish that only comes from years of performing and recording together. Listeners who enjoyed this live CD should check out Guy's other live release: Live From Boulevard Music - Guy Van Duser. You can find several Van Duser/Novick duet CDs right here on Amazon, including Guy & Billy, Lovely Sunday Afternoon, and Every Little Moment. Chet Atkins fans will appreciate Staying On the Atkins Diet and Atkins for Life, Guy's 2-CD musical salute to his guitar hero and good friend Chet Atkins.
