Yes;
       Lovely playing from all involved. Great tune of course (Hoagy
lives!!) This is one of the rare 'chromatic' treatments I've of the
diatonic that sound any good. Probably because Bergerson knows his
stuff, musically speaking, and is not just treating the oveblows like
some nebulous 'supercharging' like a lot of players do. It sounded like
music to me.

It is very nice and very well played !!

unknown master of the diatonic."

>> I totally agree !!!

I remember Pat when I lived in Nashville and he came to town. It was not
long until he was a first call session musician on multiple instruments.
 I
was always impressed by his easy tenacity and musical prowess. 

Pat just gets better and better and I believe he is an unsung, fairly
unknown master of the diatonic.

That is about to change as spah has wisely chose Pat to appear at the
next
spah convention.

Pat, IMO, deserves this honor as he clearly erases the line between
diatonic
and chromatic playing with style, grace, and melody.

Enjoy this clip. As I have noticed, Pat starts off very
slow..........then
as the song progresses, he turns up the heat and plays the meanest jazz
substitution licks this side of Howard Levy.

Enjoy........
