Bruce Forman and Pat Bergeson are working on a very special recording and tour to celebrate Barney Kessel and Chet Atkins 100th birthdays and are asking for our help in making this wonderful project see the light of day.In this Jazz Guitar Life podcast, both Bruce and Pat share their respective tales of Barney and Chet, the relationship each has with their respective iconic instruments and they also share with us the "WHY" in relation to this special project and how we - the Jazz Guitar Community - can be of help in getting this project off the ground and into our homes. Slight disclaimer: I wanted to get this podcast "on the air" quickly before the kickstarter campaign ends on February 15, 2024 so I did practically no editing at all. There will be a bunch of "Uhmmms" and pregnant pauses but honestly, that does not detract from the informative and entertaining chat we all had. Think of it as being the proverbial "fly on the wall" :) And now ladies and gentlemen, Bruce Forman and Pat Bergeson...

Podcasters note: I mistakenly called this podcast, episode 18. It is in fact episode 19.I first became aware of writer, producer and author Bill Milkowski back in the mid to late 70's, when, as a young up-and-coming rock guitar player, I started buying Guitar Player Magazine. As my pursuit shifted to Jazz Guitar, Bill's writing was right there with me in such publications as Downbeat, Jazz Times, Guitar World and other top-shelf publications. Not to mention countless album liner notes. Suffice it to say, his writing is just as impactful today as it was when I was 17.In this podcast, Bill and I talk about Wes Montgomery, Pat Martino, Jaco Pastorious and much more. He is definitely full of surprises and has a vast wealth of knowledge in both the Jazz and Rock worlds.It’s a fun, insighful, informative and entertaining interview and is definitely worth checking out!
