Who is your favorite instrumentalist or instrumental group?


I enjoy a good instrumental track. One of my earliest favorites that I recall was back in '75 "Journey of the Sorcerer" by Eagles.  Since then I've discovered:

Bella Fleck-group

The Vestbo Trio

Ray Montford-guitar

Fausto Mesolella-guitar

Charly Antolini- drums

Antonio Forcione-guitar

Alexander Motovilov- solo piano

Who are your favorite instrumentalists ?

Good nominee @slaw. As you know, another is Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives. Coincidentally their latest album Space Junk contains all instrumental material. My first favorite band was The Ventures; Los Straitjackets has been following in their footstep for the past three decades.

 

Thanks to all who responded, those are some great suggestions. I forgot to mention it in the title but I'm also interested in your favorite instrumental songs.  Here are a couple of mine. Thanks.

" Share my Sky " by Ray Montford

"Mudslide" by Vestbo Trio

"Duwadjuwandadu" by Charly Antolini
