Les Paul & Steve Miller

Музыка

This Final Performance Tribute all began on Les Paul's 90th birthday when luminaries from the musical world gathered to celebrate at New York's historic Iridium Jazz Club. Les and friends 'jammed' every Monday for the next four years until the legend left us. Great moments from many of those cool sessions are presented in this tribute to the man who created a sonic boom with the solid-body electric guitar. It's all here.

    I got to see Les at the Iridium in ... 97ish. He did more standup than played guitar, and that was just fine by me. I got to meet a legend.

    Les was not just a terrific guitarist, inventor, and innovator, and great storyteller, but he was a beautiful person. Les played for years at the Iridium in Manhattan on Mondays, like at this show. And at the conclusion of each show, he would usually spend time with other guitarists and fans that wanted to meet with him. It was always a delight to meet and talk with him. Although he had difficulty with arthritis in his later year, his mind was always sharp and he had a wonderful sense of humor.

    Godfather and godson. Les taught Steve his first chords. Severe arthritis and all, and Les is still doing his best to do some of those lightning-fast licks that he used to do. God bless him! He will never be forgotten.

    I met Les in the mid 90s at the House of Blues in L.A. for a celebration of him and his life, and he signed the Les Paul guitar I'd had since I was a boy. It was stolen a few years back, but I bet he'd smile and say "Don't you hate when that happens?" He is an inspiration for us all. Les you are missed and remembered lovingly...
