Tommy Emmanuel recently released an album with jazz guitarist Frank Vignola titled Just Between Frets. This album is volume 11 in the Groovemaster series, which has featured many other excellent guitarists including Phil Keaggy, Laurence Juber, Preston Reed, and John Jorgenson. This collaboration between Emmanuel and Vignola pairs Emmanuel’s inimitable acoustic guitar style with Vignola’s jazz guitar style, which yields a very pleasing result. In the duo format, Emmanuel seems to be able to stretch out a little bit more than he might usually do in a solo environment.
The track listing for the album is:
01 – Tenderly (3:53)
02 – Clouds/Nuages (4:57)
03 – How High the Moon (4:23)
04 – I’ve Got a Crush on You* (1:00)
05 – Young at Heart* (3:23)
06 – Swing 39/Swing 42 (6:18)
07 – Sweet Dreams (3:33)
08 – Paper Moon (5:36)
09 – Django’s Castle (4:20)
10 – Swing 09 (3:29)
11 – NatureBoy (4:31)
12 – Just Us 4 All (7:34)
