I think rhythm guitar and piano comping is one of the greatest things
in the world. Feels so right when done well. Then there's Wes'
approach, which is to be a one man shout section. On "Full House",
Wynton Kelly will comp traditionally while Wes plays shout like
figures. I like that a lot.



Thanks, Doug- can you think of some of the best examples?
Thanks to al for the generosity!
