| Has anyone ever duplicated Joaquin's single string phrasing, style, tone, and attack ? Some of the "Greats" have come close but I have never heard any note for note of JM's playing. If there is someone I wish they would post a sample on U-Tube. I started listening to Joaquin when he first went to work with Spade Cooley around 1945 when they had nightly remote Broadcasts from the Riverside Rancho in Glendale, Ca. |

There have been so many great steel guitar players since Joaquin's heyday; brilliant musicians, wonderful stylists, awe-inspiring technicians, heartfelt melody players and on-and-on. Yet somehow, Joaquin's exact compliment .... beautiful singing tone, brilliant creativity, notes placed perfectly in swinging time, and most of all a feeling of a racehorse bursting out of the gate on the fast tunes and jaw-dropping eloquence on the slow tunes remains unduplicated. There are so many brilliant Gypsy jazz players on the scene today but nobody, for me, quite captures the magic that was Django in all it's facets. Maybe because they were the first to play in their styles and products of a specific culture and moment in time they will always remain untouchable. Joaquin's playing still gives me a thrill no matter how many times I've heard a given cut.
If you had to pick two cuts that exemplify JM's genius ... a slow one and a fast one .. I don't think you could do better than Herb Steinar's choices:

On Herbs web site there is a live clip of Buddy Emmons playing Buddy's Boogie. Part way in he plays a note for note duplication of joaquins solo of Tamburitza Boogie. Of course tho... It sounds like Buddy playing it. He's the only one I have heard.
