Kurt Rosenwinkel "Stella By Starlight"

An interesting solo improvisation on Victor Young and Ned Washington's jazz standard, "Stella By Starlight", by guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel, taken from the 2013 Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux, Switzerland.  Rosenwinkel is using his D'Angelico electric guitar, and an effects pedal, that is called a Harmonic Octave Generator, or H.O.G.  He uses the freeze function within the octave generator, to get some pretty wild, almost keyboard-like sounds, that simulate a Mellotron or an organ.
